House Church Talk - William Barclay on the Lord's Supper

[David Anderson]

     Hey all you nuggeteers,

Here's a valuable gem I just stumbled across:

There can be no two things more different than the celebration of the 
Lord's Supper in a Christian home in the first century and in a cathedral 
in the twentieth century. The things are so different that it is almost 
possible to say that they bear no relationship to each other whatsoever. 
The liturgical splendor of the twentieth century was in the first century 
not only unthought of; it was totally impossible.
