That Will Preach– Communion Practices and Why We Do Them: Understanding Variations at the Table–Rev. Dr. Leah Schade

Registration: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYsd-mtqjwvGNG4TGkU8zxqIMuSdfNlTAmo 

THAT WILL PREACH is a new offering in which LTS faculty, alumni, and friends have a lunchtime conversation about an upcoming lectionary text. The featured faculty member will open with a presentation on the text (perhaps sharing some insight on exegesis, theological reflection, connections to the practice of ministry, issues of justice, or their own faith journey). The floor will then be opened for a discussion about the passage of scripture and its relevance to ministry.

Does it make a difference what kind of bread we use at communion? Why do some denominations use wine and others use grape juice?  How do Disciples of Christ communion practices differ from other denominations? What is God’s role at the table?  And what is our role in this sacred meal?

We’ll tackle these questions and more with Rev. Dr. Leah D. Schade, associate professor of preaching and worship at Lexington Theological Seminary.  Participants will gain a deeper understanding of communion that will expand their faith and better appreciate the faith of their siblings in other denominations.
