OK, so I learned a new phrase tonight, something like "transformational sacrament." A phrase for communion, meaning it is something that can change a person as or after they experience it, meaning it need not only be limited to those who have already professed belief in Jesus as the Son of God. So, as the conversation went, if someone asks, I can say I am more a follower of Jonathan Edwards' viewpoint on this than of Spurgeon. Whoever that is.
I learned that, and that my husband has acquired a sense of how to move to a beat, and another thing that it really means to be in community -- is for two 40-something men to escort an 80-year-old woman (who has had too much wine) home to her apartment, and love her enough as a sister of Christ to undress her and put her in bed -- shocked as they are by the whole thing!! God bless 'em.
