Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Non-Communicating Attendance
Seeing that all attempts to maintain the Eucharist as the habitual Sunday worship for all Christians have sooner or later invariably resulted in the practice of non-communicating attendance, it is only in keeping with historic precedent that the restoration of Sunday and daily Eucharists in the English Church should lead to the same result. A universal tendency requires an explanation, and seems to indicate a prin ciple rather than an accident. It becomes important, therefore, that this universal tendency should be studied. The following pages attempt to summarize the evidence; to deal sympathetically with a practice which is sup ported by the lengthy sanction of East and West; and to give the dogmatic principles which are held to justify individuals in sharing in the Eucharistic Offering Without necessarily on a given occasion sharing also in the Eucharistic reception.
