Eucharist as Epiclesis, Mass, & Communion Tyler Kleeberger & Amie Brodie

One approach to Eucharist that most have never heard, one that folks have heard too much, and one that is so familiar that we might have lost its depth. Epiclesis comes from the Eastern Orthodox Church and forces us to root the experience of Eucharist in the action of God. Mass may be best understood as “Mission for the Kingdom” and communion, well, deals with everything.
