While I respect your beliefs, really I do, we Protestants take communion properly as well. My Church does use unleavened bread, but the words used are quoted from the words of Jesus in the scriptures. I am not at all troubled by the method we use, just as you are convinced your way is correct. I do think God honors us all.

Actually I think God laughs at us all. I'm hoping that it's a warm affectionate laugh.

So tell me, ladyinred, when you do your Eucharistic stuff, what do you think happens to the bread and wine?

Again, I'm not asking so I can pounce and dance around going nyah nyah she thinks such and such, I'm already comfortable with my supreme correctitude and will not throw it in the face of people who don't share my being "correct as usual" like King Friday. I try to be condescending, uh, pitying and compassionate uh, warm and fuzzy with people who fail to come up to the unusually high standards set by moiself.

Why, my modesty alone is at a level unattainable by most!

I'm not making any statement with respect to whether anybody ought to be troubled by the method used in their church. Naturally there are differences of opinion -- if you didn't think your church was right, I assume you wouldn't be attending there, and of course if I didn't think my church was right, I wouldn't be there either.

But unless you're a high church Episcopalian (as I used to be), your church doesn't subscribe to the doctrine of Transubstantiation, so really the details of matter/form/succession/language aren't as important. But in the Catholic church, they are very important. That's all I was saying.

But do you have a Sacrament therein? What is your church's belief on that?
