The communion table stands as an intersection between Word and
Sacrament, between memory and hope, between pastor and congregation,
between receiving and serving, and between community and individual.
Leading from the table, says Paul Galbreath, professor of preaching
and worship, is a way of thinking, speaking, acting, and living that
grows out of learning to recognize and embody these connections in our
lives as a congregation and as individuals. Developing leadership
skills that connect the congregation's eucharistic practice to the
life and work of the church is essential to moving toward unity within
congregations, denominations, and throughout the church. This book is
not a how-to manual on presiding techniques, however. Rather, this
book is a series of reflections about the way the prayer at the
communion table provides a pattern for our lives. The goal is to shift
our understanding of table prayer from a formula led by the pastor to
a road map that highlights intersections between the practices at the
table and the daily practices in the life of the community that
gathers around the table.
