:)) I will not comment yet, wai...Oh Dear oh dear!!!<br />:)) I will not comment yet, waiting for a face 2 face meeting!!! :)) Just that the AGAPE, the meals of the first christians had in the centre the love of the sacrificed God that gave us the HOLY BODY AND BLOOD in a real sense, the prayers of Eucharisty implying exactly that the bread is the body and the wine is the blood. But of course you know me yours truly the traditionalist Orthodox :)) so no offense!
