Communion as a meal
Submitted by Roger Saner on Wed, 08/15/2007 - 15:58.We tried to reconceptualise communion as a meal - just like it was done in the early church. As they ate and shared life together, they would remember Jesus and celebrate his life, death and resurrection again. This post details some of the planning and thinking around what would be appropriate. Eventually we settled on this structure:
A welcome which includes everyone ("Present among us!") - taken from the Greenbelt_06 communion intro.
A invitation prayer from the Iona community (of which we just used the last verse), and then into the communion proper, inviting everyone to serve each other and to then enjoy the meal in the presence of the risen Christ.

Compassion
Submitted by Roger Saner on Mon, 08/13/2007 - 23:55."Compassion" is a prayer installation in which the viewer is shown an image loop 3 times. Before each loop a question is asked: "What emotions do these people invoke in you?" "How would Jesus respond to each of these?" and "What prayer would you offer to each person?" The participant is then invited to write out a prayer for some of the people portrayed, and place them at their "feet" (on a bowl on the floor underneath their printouts). The intention is to encourage the participant to outward-focussed prayer.
