Come, Let Us Eat Together: Sacraments and Christian Unity by George Kalantzis My rating: 3 of 5 stars Every year Wheaton College holds the Wheaton Theology Conference, in which a specific subject is delved into by a host of scholars and writers. Then the papers from the conference are tidied up, published and presented for a larger audience. "Come, Let Us Eat Together: Sacraments and Christian Unity" are the papers presented at the Twenty-Fifth Wheaton Theology Conference (2017), bound together in a 250 page softback. This volume is edited by George Kalantzis, a professor of theology and director of The Wheaton Center for Early Christian Studies at Wheaton College, and Marc Cortez, also a professor of theology at Wheaton College. The manuscript is mildly technical but can be profitable for laypersons and professionals alike. "Come, Let Us Eat Together" has authors from across the Christian spectrum: Catholic, Orthodox, Anabaptist, Anglican, Lutheran, and more.

Because your Son, Jesus the Messiah, has made us kings and priests unto you our God, we come offering you our thanks and intercessions. We thank you for all of your generosity to us shown in safe travels, medical care, homes, food, clothing, families, and love and warmth. Hear us as we give you thanks for other blessings… We pray for your Church throughout the nations, including Classen Blvd Baptist, Coffee Creek Baptist, Community Baptist, Council Road Baptist Church, as well as Emmanuel Upstate PCA and my friend Billy Castro in Greenville S.C. and Shawnee PCA and Matt Wiley; guide us in all peace and holiness, without which we cannot expect to see you; make up our lack, further the good effects of our work done in accordance with your will and way. May we fully embrace the fullness of the Gospel of your Son, Jesus Christ and his kingdom, growing in all godliness and joy. Thank you for lifting up your face on our General Assembly. Continue to fortify our faithfulness, sup
