fts-ms500 post for 11/23/10 class

Todays class was very interesting. We watched a class about John Calvin. We also discussed aspects about the protestant church. How the pulpit is above the altar because the spoken Word is considered superior to all else. We spoke about the Eucharist in the reformed church and how in the Presbyterian church Jesus Christ is the host of the ceremony. There is a spiritual presence of HIM but he is not in the actual elements. Also in ceremonies in different countries, the elements can range from tea and biscuits, to fruit juice and crackers. Also Jesus is there in the Word that is spoken; and usually in a private Eucharist session a review of the Sermon is made.
