Last updated on: June 30, 2023 at 1:16 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Communion, pt. 10 | Discussion For more on Communion in the Early Church from the Archives CLICK East and West The Eastern rite seems to offer a more adequate place for the work of the Spirit than the West, at least in the early days. As previously noted: “The East anticipated the medieval Western doctrine of the real presence by many hundreds of years. This change is brought about by the Holy Spirit . . . the fully-developed theology of the... Read more

Communion, pt. 8 | Emerging Recognition of the Spirit For more on Communion in the Early Church from the Archives CLICK Dom Gregory Dix makes a case that the Syrians (East) may not see the Spirit in a New Testament sense, but in an Old Testament sense, as the presence or power of God. He cites this as evidence for the early origins of The Liturgy of SS. Addai and Mari.[1] However, Thomas probably pioneers Edessa’s congregation, where The Liturgy of... Read more

Communion, pt. 4 | Early Influences, Didache, Clement of Rome, and Ignatius Didache The Didache is considered by some to be a very early church document, and a later one by others (first or second century respectively). However it offers guidelines that appear to be formative for the early church. Robert Webber looks at the form prayer suggested by the Didache and states that it is essentially a call for unity in the church, to gather the church.[1] The Didache’s... Read more

Last updated on: June 2, 2023 at 12:34 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Early Influences, Early Church Liturgy We know the church of Acts practices communion. “1 Cor. expresses that tradition in a more primitive form [than Mark], roughly at the stage when S Paul first learned it – within ten years at the most of the last supper itself, perhaps within five.”[1] chaburah, agape, and table fellowship meals Paul’s form of communion would be recognized by the Jewish Christians as a new meaning to a chaburah meal.

Last updated on: May 31, 2023 at 5:30 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Early Influences There are up to seven actions of the Eucharist in Scripture. However Dom Gregory Dix contends that a four-action shape emerges across the church. He believes it is from the primitive church. “(1) The offertory; bread and wine are ‘taken’ and placed on the table together. (2) The prayer; the president gives thanks to God over bread and wine together. (3) The fraction; the bread is broken. (4) The communion; the bread and wine are distributed together.”[1] Dix...

Communion, pt. 1 | Introduction and Key Themes

Last updated on: May 31, 2023 at 5:05 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Introduction and Key Themes This research flows from an exploratory problem I pursued in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Sacraments in History, Asbury Theological Seminary. The syllabus states the problem as: “The doctrine of the ‘epiklesis’ in the Eastern Rite provides a more adequate place for the work of the Holy Spirit in worship than was found in the Western Rite.” I took the position in favor of this. There are factors that make this line of research difficult. ... Read more
