Eucharist and Receptive Ecumenism - From Thanksgiving to Communion

Discussions between Christians from different traditions often focus on doctrine, but for many Christians, differences in practice and worship are much more central and important. By looking at the eucharist as thanksgiving, this book bridges Catholic and Protestant practice and theology and shows a new approach to Christian unity.
