What is this Passover Feast? – Jan. 19, 2020

Exodus 12:3-13 and Mark 14:12-25

Our biblical example of communion stems from Jesus sharing the Passover meal with his disciples.

Rachel reflects on how the church’s communion practice, particularly in white-dominant congregations, can deepen rather than heal racial divisions in the church as it did in the past when white slave owners required those they had enslaved to participate in the practice. It’s too easy to proclaim a false unity; saying “Peace, peace,” where there is no peace.

We must understand how this gift of communion has been damaged in the past, then we can do a better job of honoring it as we continue our walks of faith.
