Table of Thanksgiving: How Eucharist Forms Us

In every parish, there are theological and practical histories, traditions, stories and long-held beliefs that inform the distribution and reception of Holy Communion. In this workshop, the group will engage a panel of peers in discussing how to navigate and facilitate parish conversation, growth and change when it comes to matters related to Holy Communion. Questions around appropriate preparation, age for reception, common cup/small cups, bread or hosts, kneeling or standing, determining who receives and the sending of the sacrament to the sick and homebound will provide starting points for the group’s consideration.
