A quote from a Christian Church (Church of England) web site
"On the night before Jesus was put to death on the Cross, he had his last supper with the disciples.
During the meal, he took some bread and gave thanks to God in the Jewish fashion. He broke it into pieces and gave it to his friends saying it was his Body. After the meal, he took some wine, gave thanks to God and gave it to them saying it was his Blood. He commanded them to continue this simple ceremony in remembrance of him. "==========

"They would be supported by the church catechism, which speaks of "the body and blood of Christ, which are verily and indeed taken and received by the faithful in the Lord's supper." "
Could you explain why it is OK to drink Christs blood, but no one elses??Nikki
