Coming to the Table: Why the Meal is the Center

It's easy to say communion has been the centerpiece of Christian worship for 2000 years. But for those of us who haven't come from liturgical worship background or aren't well-versed in sacramenal theology, we can't help but wonder-- politely and silently-- why it is the center. Isn't it just preference? If I feel God more during a song, isn't that more important that an old, fussy ritual of a bread and a cup?

This is one of the questions I wrestle with in the Mystery of Faith project, particularly in the book.
