TGC carries the first post of my new series on how the sacraments relate to vocation:

The image of “many members and one body” is widely used in our movement to illustrate how we have many particular callings to carry out one faith. Yet one does not often hear the closely related phrase “communion of the saints.”

The incarnation is widely discussed in the movement as demonstrating God’s affirmation of the material world – and in particular his affirmation of work, given that when he took on humanity he took on the calling to physical labor. Yet one does not hear much about how we eat and drink that same physical body of Christ we draw on so often to illustrate God’s affirmation of his world and its work.

If you’d like to share your view of this not-at-all-controversial subject, consider yourself anointed to do so!
