Faith in the Eucharist

Another thing to make you wonder what is going on in the Faith of the Anglican Communion, this time straight from the top.

Poisoned Chalice from CNN.

The problem with this is in the understanding of the Eucharist. In the Orthodox Church, we believe that the bread and wine ARE the body and blood of Christ, not a representation. In his question and answer series on oca.org, Father John Matusiak says: "It is a matter of faith that one cannot contract a disease from the Body and Blood of Christ."

As if other things haven't made me wonder about the Faith of some Anglicans lately, this is just another point to make you wonder what is going on. You can read Fr. John's complete thoughts here.
