Last night I finished Come to the Table by John Mark Hicks. I recommend it to anyone who wants to have a better understanding of the Old and New Testament roots of communion and just how far off track we are in the way we typically celebrate it today. This book challenged me to see communion in a totally different light and frustrated me because I’m not sure how to implement his suggestions for renewal in a church of 800 where communion is the most sacred of cows. Of course that doesn’t mean I won’t be giving it a try.
