Culture-ized Communion?
Can communion elements be culture-ized or, by doing so, does the meal cease to be the Lord’s Supper? Can a Japanese church use rice and sake? A youth group pizza and coke? There is something unsettling about this question but, at the same time, if your church is using bread made with yeast instead of “unleavened bread” aren’t you already doing this to some extent?
