| | Communion (Christian) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The communion of saints is the relationship that, according to the belief of Christians, exists between them as people made holy by their link with Christ. | | | In Christianity, the basic meaning of the term communion is an especially close relationship of Christians, as individuals or as a Church, with God and with other Christians. | | | Since the word rendered in English as "saints" can mean not only "holy people" but also "holy things", the term communion of saints also applies to the sharing by members of the Church in the holy things of faith, sacraments (especially the Eucharist, and the other spiritual graces and gifts that they have in common. |

| | Communion And Christian Character |
| | Christian truth is that perception of reality which comes to us in a personal relationship with a personal God in the person of Jesus Christ through the personal presence of the Holy Spirit in the fellowship of the Church. | | | I have found it helpful to say that a Christian life is a life based on faith (and faith presupposes grace), lived by the power of the Holy Spirit, in the fellowship of the people of God—the church. | | | To be a Christian (salvation) is to be in fellowship with God In Jesus Christ by grace through faith through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. |

| | Of Christian Communion, by John Kettlewell (1693) |
| | And this is by rejecting fraternal communion with them, denying to worship God in their assemblies, or to admit their members to worship in ours, or communicating with those who stand excommunicated by them, or have made a schism from them. | | | All we Christians, are incorporated or made one body, says Tertullian, as by the belief of the same religion, and the covenant of hope, so by the unity of discipline. | | | And in further care and provision, for the maintenance of this catholic accord and communion among all churches, by the ancient rule of the church, all orthodox bishops and churches, were to keep up an intercourse by communicatory letters. |

| | Matthew's gospel says that when Jesus took a cup at the last supper he told his disciples, "Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins" (Matthew 26:27-28). | | | Today, among Disciples congregations, a communion table will be found in the sanctuary located in a prominent place, indicating the importance of the Lord's Supper in their worship. | | | Such is the present disarray of Christ's followers in regard to the central act of Christian worship. |

| | Of Christian Communion, by John Kettlewell (1693) |
| | For the communion, which all Christians are obliged to seek in the catholic church, is the communion of saints. | | | So that their falling off from pure Christian worship and doctrine, which are necessary to the religion, to its honouring God, or our acceptance by it; loosens the bond of union to any assemblies, and sets men free to join with any others regularly empowered, who stick faster to them. | | | For the end, why Christians were formed into a society; was to keep up the profession and payment of that holy doctrine and worship, which are necessary or peculiar to them, as they are a sect or religion. |

| | Holy Communion |
| | In this realm holy communion also symbolizes the believer's spiritual union with the body of Christ, the church, and by virtue of taking Holy Communion one indicates his support of, and oneness with, the holy church. | | | Consequently, prior to participating in Holy Communion one is to examine himself, spiritually, to see if he is truly in the faith and is free from sin. | | | Pluralism and duplicity of belief, sad to say, are among the hallmarks of the Christian faith. |

| | Communion |
| | The “Christian life” is not the vague and mystical thing which the unsaved deem it to be, and which some preachers have made people think it is. No, it is an intensely practical and blessed thing. | | | It is the Christian’s holy privilege to cultivate the most familiar converse with Christ. | | | It is pride (quite unsuspected) which hinders so many from maintaining this simple and childlike converse and communion with Christ. |

| | Christian cannibalism (Communion, Eucharist) |
| | However, the holy scripture to which this faking "god" and his Christian henchmen are used to referring for (sham-) evidence (the Jews' Bible or "Old Testament"), in fact, simply turns Christian "god" Yehoshua-ben-Pandera (Christian jargon: Jesus "Christ") out to an accursed one of god (see: De 21:23). | | | You understood correctly: The holy scripture to which Jesus "Christ" and his Christian henchmen (the Jews' Bible or "Old Testament") refer to produce (sham-) evidence of their claims and demands as purported evidence about divinity of Jesus "Christ" does not turn out the latter to be preferred -- in whatever way -- to god. | | | Christian swineherds and their slaves even practice cannibalism introduced by instigator of Christian sect, Jesus "Christ". |

| | In the Eucharist, the Church expresses her efficacious communion with the departed: offering to the Father in the Holy Spirit the sacrifice of the death and resurrection of Christ, she asks to purify his child of his sins and their consequences, and to admit him to the Paschal fullness of the table of the Kingdom. | | | The Christian funeral is a liturgical celebration of the Church. | | | The ministry of the Church in this instance aims at expressing efficacious communion with the deceased, at the participation in that communion of the community gathered for the funeral, and at the proclamation of eternal life to the community. |

| | The Holy Eucharist |
| | Therefore, the Eucharist is truly the center of the life of the Church and the principal means of spiritual development, both for the individual Christian and the Church as a whole. | | | Rather, he comes as a member of the Community of Faith who participates in the very purpose of the Church, which is the Worship of the Holy Trinity. | | | Since the Holy Communion is an expression of our Faith, reception of the Holy Gifts is open only to those who are baptized, chrismated, and practicing members of the Orthodox Church. |

| | Holy Communion is never taken from any "reserve." As we have mentioned, all who are members of the Church through the sacraments of baptism and chrismation, including small children and infants, may partake of Holy Communion.. | | | The communion of the faithful is always from the gifts offered and sanctified at the given Divine Liturgy. | | | Hearty endorsement is given to that closer form of participation in the Mass whereby the faithful, after the priest's communion, receive the Lord's body under elements consecrated at that very sacrifice. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sacrifice of the Mass |
| | However, as we have already emphasized, the omission of real or spiritual Communion on the part of the faithful present does not render the Sacrifice of the Mass either invalid or unlawful, wherefore the Church even permits "private Masses", which may on reasonable grounds be celebrated in a chapel with closed doors. | | | Neither the Church nor the Christian people has any tolerance for the false principle: "The less the number of the faithful in the church, the richer the fruits". | | | Since sacrifice is thus essential to religion, it is all the more necessary for Christianity, which cannot otherwise fulfil its duty of showing outward honour to God in the most perfect way. |

| | First of all, a distinction is to be made between the faith and practice of the earliest Christians and that of the Church during subsequent centuries. | | | For the Christian, on the other hand, as heir to the Hebraic view of history, the time-process comprises a series of unique events, and the most significant of these events was the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. | | | Both of the Christian sacraments, in their earliest phase, were considered to be primarily dono data, namely blessings conveyed to those who by nature were unfit to participate in the new order inaugurated by the person and work of Jesus Christ. |

| | United Methodists have taken the first step toward full communion with Episcopalians and most Lutherans after their bishops approved an agreement to share the Eucharist, with members of the two other denominations. | | | It also moves the churches one step closer to full communion, in which the three churches can swap clergy and recognize one another's sacraments. | | | He said it would be the first time his denomination has had such a shared communion with any group outside the Methodist tradition, which includes the African Methodist Episcopal, African Methodist Episcopal Zion and Christian Methodist Episcopal churches. |
