The ELCA has disavowed the Augsburg Confession?

I Corinthians 10:16 reads:

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not he communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

I doubt it. But, I left the ELCA many years ago, just a few months after my second birth, ill-equipped at the time to be the Lone Ranger.

Corinthians 10:16 reads:
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not he communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

Of course. Don't you think that's awfully weak, the notion that He is somehow mystically invested in the bread and wine by the speaking of the words? I sure don't see that in the bible.

It wouldn't be much of a remembrance if the verse said ...

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not he communion of the fruit of the vine ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of bread ?

... would it ?
