All doctrinal development and debate occurs against the background
of Christian practice and worship. By attending to what Christians
have done in the eucharist, Kimberly Belcher provides a new
perspective on the history of eucharistic doctrine and Christian
divisions today. Stepping back from the metaphysical approaches
that divide the churches, she focuses on a phenomenological
approach to the eucharist and a retrieval of forgotten elements in
Ambrose's and Augustine's work. The core of the eucharist is the
act of giving thanks to the Father - for the covenant and for the
world. This unitive core allows for significant diversity on
questions about presence, sacrifice, ecclesiology, and ministry.
Belcher shows that the key is humility about what we know and what
we do not, which gives us a willingness to receive differences in
Christian teachings as gifts that will allow us to move forward in
a new way.
