Things to add to Lutheran Section[edit]

We still need to talk about communion fellowship, close(d) communion, open communion and excommunication. --CTSWyneken 02:06, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Classification of article as "start" applies only to the Lutheran Section and not to the entire article.

All of the links after the words 'most Lutherans' are to American synods. Does that mean 'most American Lutherans' because Canadian Lutherans are in full communion with the Anglican Church of Canada, who allow 'all baptised Christians of good conscience', so the Lutherans would have to too. I understand there are some Lutherans in Europe too. Can someone who knows clarify please? This whole article seems a bit patchy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Je9671111 (talk • contribs) 03:35, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

Since it has been proposed on this page that we need sections on open and closed communion and because the two pages don't contain much information anyway (and because they both fall under the broader heading of Eucharistic discipline), I am proposing we merge them into a section of this article. Thoughts? -- jackturner3 02:11, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No. In Reformed theology, at least, they are quite different issues. StAnselm 04:19, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say no also - though open & closed could be merged. Johnbod 22:31, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely NOT. There is a HUGE difference between the ORDINANCE of Communion and the SACRAMENT of Eucharist. Communion is a symbol pointing to the Paschal Event, whereas Eucharist is a channel of God's grace to the recipient (look at the middle of the word - charis - Greek for grace). Eucharist is transubstantiation or consubstantiation, whereas Communion is a symbolic celebration ("Celebrate His death until He returns"). Thus, an ORDINANCE-keeper will NEVER think to look for Communion under Eucharist, where it clearly doesn't belong. SHLAMA

Anglicans[edit]

This article says 'Anglicans also believe in the real, objective presence of Jesus Christ in the holy sacrament.' But the 39 Articles in the Book of Common Prayer says "transubstantiation (or the change of the substance of bread and wine) in the Supper of the Lord, cannot be proved by Holy Writ, but is repugnant to the plain words of Scripture, overthroweth the nature of a Sacrament, and hath given occasion to many superstitions." Can someone who knows clarify please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Je9671111 (talk • contribs) 03:30, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that too. I thought it is fundamental to Protestantism that the bread and wine are symbolic only. I've deleted it which will hopefully force a review.92.28.15.120 (talk) 21:11, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tea[edit]

Is it alright to drink tea before Mass in the Catholic Church? Tea is essentially water, would that breach the Eucharistic fast or not? Or does it depend on the kind of tea? 212.186.15.63 (talk) 09:53, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
