Discussion Questions
  1. Why do you think Jesus emphasized remembrance rather than ritual in instituting the Lord's Supper?
  2. How did the Lord's Supper transform from a simple memorial into a complex theological ritual over time?
  3. What lessons can we learn from the Restorationist approach to communion in our own practice of faith?
