Roger (et al, though many of you already know this) -- I felt so lucky to
go to a multidenominational seminary like Yale -- every Friday we
celebrated communion from a different tradition (no Eastern Orthodox, as I
recall, but RC and many protestant traditions) -- and we had lively
discussions in classes and at lunch over sacraments and how the different
denominations viewed them.  Was I ever surprised -- and educated!  But our
RC professor had a rich and deep sacramental tradition to share with us,
including the adaptation of the rites to places such as Latin America with
their own indigenous traditions.  Loved it.
