Hello hi, this is my first post here, so bear with me
I am Eastern Orthodox. I go to St George's Antiochian Church in Upper Darby.
The mystery(sacrament) of Communion is my favourite part of the Divine Liturgy. We receive both bread and wine from a chalice with a spoon. We believe in the Real Presence; the Holy Spirit changes the wine and bread into the blood and body of Lord Jesus. To receive Communion, you have to go to confession and be a member of the Orthodox church. 8)
Why must one
must be a member? If I confess my sins and accept Jesus Christ as my Savior, the only way I can receive communion is to be a member of the Orthodox church?
Thanks.
