Symbols often say more . . .
Sir, – I wonder whether a key issue in the difficulties faced by the Church of Scotland might be the relatively infrequent celebration of Communion, the Lord’s Supper, the Eucharist, whatever title you wish to give this central rite which makes the Christian church unique in the world.
It ensures that the focus is always on Jesus. It is his mandate and its roots go back to the earliest days of Christianity. It is also prefigured long before in the Old Testament. Symbols often say more than words.
