[Faith-talk] Link I mentioned

[Christine Olivares]

Hi everyone,
Great discussion. David, I understand where you are coming from. However, there are people that need ritual. Furthermore, the sacraments are believed to have a transference of grace, which I have felt before. David, what you do is as much a ritual as what others do.

There are seven sacraments in the Catholic and some Episcopal/Anglican churches: Baptism, Confession, First communion, Confirmation, Matrimony, Holy Orders, and Anointing of the sick. I have experienced much from these sacraments before. There is a power I can’t explain that comes through them, but again, we are all different and experience god in different ways.

God bless,
Christine

To me when he says do this in remembrance of me at the last supper it means every time the believers come together in worship.  I recall when I got married in the Catholic Church we had communion as a part of the wedding ceremony. I don't recall call if that is something required or chosen. Ashley, perhaps you can remind me which two, but I know that one difference between Catholics is that protestants generally have two sacraments one being baptism and the Catholics have seven. To me, things don't have to be a sacrament to be sacred.

Everybody said and pews and we had to wait until everyone received the wine to drink it, then wait to have the wafers passed around everyone until we could eat the wafer. I'm all for unity, but really I've saw nothing sacred about that. It seems like just a formality. Lutherans to go up to the rail most of the time. There are times like Christmas and Easter where are there are just so many people it is not good traffic flow to do that so everyone comes up to the front of the church in online and then files back to the pew on the outer Isles. Every church does it a little different but yes in those cases it is by intinction.
