The Eucharist is common Sunday fare in most Anglican churches, and the
point in ritual where God and humanity most closely meet. It nourishes
the soul, deepens and extends community, reaches deeper than any other
Christian practice. But collective worship has been in steep decline
and Eucharistic practice has been further disrupted by the pandemic.
In The Eucharist in Four Dimensions, Jessica Martin considers the
place of the Eucharist today using four approaches: · The Point of
the Eucharist – its essence, story and what it is for in
contemporary culture; the divine value it gives to the weak and the
broken; · Flat Eucharist – the meaning of the Eucharist in a world
of written liturgy and screened worship; · The Eucharist as event -
the role of physical gathering and communal eating in the Eucharistic
drama of communal feast; how this works when we are physically absent;
· The Eucharist in time – how memory brings together Jesus’s past
physical present with the meetings and partings of our own lives. This
is an essential guide to the Eucharist for all ministering in a world
of streamed services and remote worship.
