I just  noticed that several other churches have been identified with that 
story!  That's the trouble with oral tradition; no wonder there are so many 
versions  of the  Gospel!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
 
The Eucharist is said to be the "Great Sacrarment of Unity," but I think  
much of
the time it is a sad reminder of divisions.  This can be individual  like 
this story,
with the Blacks and Whites not wanting to receive the Sacrament  together,
or it can be a symbol of the disunity among denominations.
 
For Roman Catholics, for example, the Eucharist is held as a definite
symbol of unity of the faithful with the Roman Pontiff.  To  receive
in the Catholic Church means to signal personal union with the Pope.
 
I don't mean to imply that is ALL there is going on at a Catholic  Mass,
but it is an important part.
