"The important issue here is that we have deepened our relationship with God. Table worship is not running through the motions, but doing what Table worship does - enact the story of God and enter into an intimate nurturing and healing interactive relationship with God, the Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer of our lives." (189) Okay, so I agree that I probably downplay the Table too much, and that Calvin believed that it was more than just a symbol. (Actually, I think that performing the Lord's Table every week is beneficial because it focuses on Christ's redemption.) However, blended worship does not always emphasize the Eucharist as much as Webber has. Maybe Anglicanism does, but not necessarily a blended service. In fact, I have been to many blended churches that don't. I love the blended view because it is more theologically centered than style centered. I also believe that the Table is vital, but is the Spirit "released through the signs of bread and wine"? (181). Again, I agree with his blended, theologically based view, but I am not sure about his Eucharist view. Does anyone agree with his Table view, and if so can you help me out please?? Thank you!
