I actually have had the same thought: About ...Wes,<br />I actually have had the same thought: About fear of sharing the cup with someone who looks "dirty." I don't think many people consciously discriminate or think of themselves as better (although I am quite sure there are those who do) but there are those germ-a-phobes (like my mom) who would be hard pressed to share a cup with her cousin, let alone a stranger.<br /><br />BUT, I enjoyed observing the Eucharist at a big old Catholic church some months ago in a downtown cathedral. Watching a common cup being shared between what looked like a business man and a homeless person (note the "what looked like" qualifier) impressed me with an overwhelming sense of family. A few folks who <i>looked</i> like they were the poor of the poor were also involved in the liturgical readings and leading of prayer before the service. Very cool stuff. <br /><br />I'm reading a great book on the Eucharist right now...natehttp://thankheavenforbeer.comnoreply@blogger.com
