"The best way towards unity in eucharistic celebration and communion is the renewal of the eucharist itself in the different
churches in regard to teaching and liturgy." (Baptism, Eucharist, Ministry - Eucharist III, 28)
Over recent years, most churches have undertaken a significant renewal of their eucharistic rites and the manner in which
they celebrate the sacrament. Through lectures and assigned readings in primary sources the student will become familiar
with the historical development of the Eucharist and its various theologies through the ages as well as pastoral questions
facing the churches today. By the end of course students should have a solid background with which to engage the
contemporary reforms of the Eucharistic rites and practices of their own church as well as an understanding of the practices
of other churches.
