Gathered at the Table: Reimagining the Lord’s Supper at University Baptist Church Open Access

Abstract

The Lord’s Supper, by definition is a communal act. Yet, at University Baptist Church, there is a silent communion room in which people may take of the elements alone. In this project, I attempted to offer a corrective to this individualized, privatized practice through study, ritual, and reflection within the confines of a focus group. Throughout this project, the group decided to make some changes to the silent communion room, but in the end left the basic practice in place.
