Exiles.

Here are two quotes from Michael Frost's "Exiles."

It seems that the church is still hoping and praying that the ground will shift back and our society will embrace once again the values that it once shared with the Christian community. But for many of us, and for those to whom this book is written, this hoping and praying is a lost cause. We acknolwedge that the epoch of history that shaped the contemporary church has crashed like a wave on a shore and left the church high and dry. The epoch is known as Christendom. Christendom has molded our church into their current form and abandoned them to a world this is completely over it all.

The Christian communion table, then, is not a holy, untouchable artifice, but rather a feasting place, a place to enjoy the presence of the one who eats and drinks with us. Today, however, we have turned it into something like the stone water jars used for ceremonial purification rites that Jesus found in Cana. The communion table now represents the separation between the holy and the unholy rather than a place where everyone can share in the bounty offered by the falsely accused drunkard and glutton.
