@amyBBLHM- From the COGIC website: "THE LORD’S SUPPER (HOLY COMMUNION)
The Lord’s Supper symbolizes the Lord’s death and suffering for the benefit and in the place of His people. It also symbolizes the believer’s participation in the crucified Christ. It represents not only the death of Christ... but also the effect of this act as the giving of life, strength, and joy to the soul. The communicant by faith enters into a special spiritual union of his soul with the glorified Christ."
They are not teaching as the Catholic Church teaches that the wafer literally turns into the body of Christ, do they? It's symbolic of His body being broken on Calvary's cross, right? I hope someone can clarify. Patterson uses the word "consecrate". He doesn't believe he can pull Christ off His throne like the priests of Rome do, right?

Do the clergy not wear the white gloves when participating in this ritual? I know that at my church the clergy and deacons wear white gloves.

I love that shot how they show mothers, elders and deacons gathered around Bishop.

some jam and whipped cream on the wafer might increase falling numbers
