Your position is that of the average liturgical Protestant, but it does not relate to Catholic or Orthodox understanding of either worship or the place of the priest. For us the priest is not "presider" or "worship leader," but becomes persona Christi whilst offering the sacrifice of the Mass, whichDalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431501238259860462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-27151499154369313702010-03-02T11:12:37.134+00:002010-03-02T11:12:37.134+00:00There are a lot of us who believe - and this, unle...There are a lot of us who believe - and this, unless I am very much mistaken, is the position of the Church of England - that the Eucharist is neither "an objective sacrificial action" nor "a performance for the edification of the people".
