Thanks for pointing out the inconsistencies of Presbyterian traditionalism Richard. I have asked many Presbyterians (and remember I am a Presbyterian) to open the Bible and show me how the practice of bi-annual communion (or less) can possibly be Biblical. Needless to say I am still waiting.
It is also strange that so many Presbyterians criticize others for having "holy days", yet what exactly are their communion "seasons". Surely the idea of having a special season to observe the sacrament is every bit as unbiblical, and a violation of the RPW, as man-made holy days?[/quote]
I think I have entered the twilight zone when I find myself wholeheartedly agreeing with Daniel!
My background is the Free Church of Scotland and the congregation I was a member of had communion twice yearly. We had the usual round of preparatory services. Now, in one sense it was a wonderful time of teaching and fellowship. The congregation excel at having fellowship time . But there was no biblical warrant for the practice. They were holy days by another name.
This is slightly
but do you think the reason for the continuing infrequency of communion has to do with many Presbyterains taking a memorial only view of the Supper?
