Theological Reflection on the Eucharist & Fresh Expressions of Church
Interesting article from Nigel Scotland in the Church of England Newspaper, as this is something that has affected The Lab as we’ve grown as a community:
For several years now the term ‘fresh expressions’ has been on the lips of many Anglicans including those in the corridors of power at Westminster and elsewhere. ‘Fresh expressions’ or ‘emerging church’, as some prefer, are clearly needed and are to be commended. However one aspect of this which seems not to have been significantly touched is the way in which we practice Holy Communion. The structure and ethos of our Common Worship is still largely set in a 16th century time-warp which is derived from the medieval mass. For many this appears to have been a sacrosanct given that cannot and should not be changed.
Yet now in this period of exploration may be an appropriate moment for some serious reflection on the matter.
