Ecclesial Communities ContrastedEcclesial communities contrasted in relation to Eucharistic theology: - Catholic Church:
- Lutheran
- Presbyterian
- ca. A.D. 1540
- Eucharistic theology: spiritual presence
- "Presbyterians say it is not about a physical presence — it is about a spiritual presence. Not all reality is physical. The Roman, Lutheran and Anabaptist viewpoints all get stuck on the notion that molecules of Jesus have to be there in order for him to be physically present — and so they argue for or against the presence of molecules of flesh and blood." http://www.pcusa.org/today/archive/q/q0008.htm
- Anglican
- ca. A.D. 1540
- Eucharistic theology: 'after a heavenly and spiritual manner'
- "Of course, the range of possible meaning (including receptionism and virtualism) is all within a basic Reformed Catholic mindset and never includes the rejected medieval doctrines of the sacrifice of the Mass & transubstantiation." http://www.episcopalian.org/pbs1928/Articles/CranmerHolyCommunion.htm "Transubstantiation (or the change of the substance of Bread and Wine) in the Supper of The Lord cannot be proved by Holy Writ; but is repugnant to the plain words of Scripture, overthroweth the nature of a Sacrament, and hath given occasion to many superstitions." http://www.episcopalian.org/pbs1928/Articles/AnglicanTeaching/143.htm
- Baptist
- Quaker
- Methodist
- ca. A.D. 1736
- Eucharistic theology: 'after a heavenly and spiritual manner'
**"Transubstantiation, or the change of the substance of bread and wine in the Supper of our Lord, cannot be proved by Holy Writ, but is repugnant to the plain words of Scripture, overthroweth the nature of a sacrament, and hath given occasion to many superstitions." http://www.umc.org/interior.asp?ptid=1&mid=1651
