The so-called private Mass was one of the major issues of the Reformation, and congregational participation in Communion was one of the hallmarks of the Reformation churches. What is new in my understanding is a dawning realization that all of these controversies about how or when Christ is present in the Eucharistic are somewhat beside the point. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. Much is often made of his admonition, in this passage, to not be proud of being an eye, or envious if one is merely a foot. We are the Body of Christ.
People say it all the time.
A couple of weeks ago, I was invited by the Church of the Servant Jesus , one of the new churches that has grown out of the Ecumenical Service recently, to talk to them about my art. One of their mission groups, Seeing and Believing, organizes the newly-named Mary Cosby Gallery of the Potter's House, and one of the members of the group, Lee Porter, is a friend of mine from Wesley Seminary. Lee is the one who arranged my current show. I cannot remember what the first song was, because for about half an hour, everyone was singing and clapping, with no need of hymnals or song sheets. At first, I was a little uncomfortable, because I did not know many of the songs, but it was easy enough to catch on, eventually.
