Much can be learned from Christian history, and much can be done in the ways we celebrate communion today. Eleanor Kreider calls for a renewed unity of Word and table in Christian worship that recaptures the 'meal' character of the Eucharist and truly forms the church in the image of Christ.
The book explores the revitalization of worship and mission in a post-Christendom context, emphasizing the need for the church to redefine these concepts. It highlights God as the central figure in mission, inviting all Christians to engage actively. In worship, the church is encouraged to narrate and celebrate God's story, fostering hope among members and inviting outsiders to experience its inclusive hospitality. This rethinking aims to unite worship and mission, reflecting a transformative approach to faith in a changing cultural landscape.
