| Description: |
The ritual of eating and drinking together is one of the most important Christian events. Often called Eucharist, Lord's Supper, or Communion, this sacrament is about the presence of Christ transforming not only those who participate in it but also the world. In this book, the author engages this Christian liturgical act with movements of people around our globalized world and checks the sacramental borders of hospitality. The author calls our attention to the sacramental practices of Reformed churches and, from this liturical practice, challenges Charisitan churches to expand the boarders of hospitality. Proposing a boarderless boarder eucharistic hospitality, the author encourages readers to ask who and where we are when we get together to eat and drink, and how this liturical act around Jesus' table/meal can transform the lives of the poor, our communities, societies, and the world. |
