What is the future of Christianity in Australia? - Peter Bolt

In many ways, Australian society still lives on the capital of its Christian past, and we should thank God for that. But there are also clear signs that secularism is advancing and also that explicitly anti-Christian forces are at work in some quarters. This is not paranoia, it is simply observation. But is this cause for depression or despair? Is it cause for the Christian churches to begin a campaign of denouncing the evil in the midst of our land?

Editorial: Mindful issue 2 - Holy Communion

While its significance may be lost on modern westerners, the breaking of bread with another person is a significant event with a long history. Our word 'companion means one with whom bread is shared. In ancient cultures "“ Jewish, Pagan and Christian "“ sharing a meal and breaking bread was an indication of a cultural connection. It was a form of fellowship.

The Lord’s Supper

Most churches agree that the chief expression of fellowship between Christian people is the Holy Communion service. Paul called it 'the Lord's supper' (I Corinthians 11:20), which indicates what it is, namely the fellowship meal of disciples, by invitation of their Lord. Instituted by Jesus himself during his last evening on earth, it has been almost universally recognized ever since as the heart of Christian worship. Luke seems to indicate that, at least in Asia Minor in AD 57, it was the churches' custom on the first day of each week to assemble in order 'to break bread' (Acts 20:7). The Lord's Day would have been incomplete without the Lord's Supper. Some churches this century have been seeking to recover its centrality by making it the main Sunday service. Others believe they can best emphasize its importance by holding a Communion service for the whole church family on one Sunday a month.
