The Eucharist is common Sunday fare in most Anglican churches, and
the point in ritual where God and humanity most closely meet. It
nourishes the soul, deepens and extends community, reaches deeper
than any other Christian practice. But collective worship has been
in steep decline and Eucharistic practice has been further
disrupted by the pandemic. In The Eucharist in Four Dimensions,
Jessica Martin considers the place of the Eucharist today using
four approaches: · The Point of the Eucharist – its essence,
story and what it is for in contemporary culture; the divine value
it gives to the weak and the broken; · Flat Eucharist – the
meaning of the Eucharist in a world of written liturgy and screened
worship; · The Eucharist as event - the role of physical gathering
and communal eating in the Eucharistic drama of communal feast; how
this works when we are physically absent; · The Eucharist in time
– how memory brings together Jesus’s past physical present with
the meetings and partings of our own lives. This is an essential
guide to the Eucharist for all ministering in a world of streamed
services and remote worship.
