Theological Preparation
Is it appropriate to even think in terms of a Communion
service offered over the web? There are, at the very
least, two theological issues with which we must come to
terms: 1) the validity of the consecration of the
elements (the bread and wine) when at least part of the
delivery of the consecration will be recorded; and 2)
because Communion is both an individual and a communal
rite, can we satisfy both these attributes through a
Communion service delivered over the web? The
information presented here provides some background you
can use to make up your own mind.
