Abstract

The author's thesis is that the contemporary practice of communion in progressive, free church congregations can become more like Jesus' own meal practices through a focus on spiritual direction and the Hebrew prophetic tradition. Through the use, in turn, of philosophy, history, theology, liturgy and ethics, he develops a constructive philosophical theology. The conclusion is a twin call for churches both to move from a symbolic, ritualized communion to a full meal communion and to transition from eating mostly with others within one's own socioeconomic class to open table fellowship with anyone - friends, strangers, or enemies.
