"The most visible and profound way in which the community gives physical expression to its fellowship is the common meal. The word "deipnon" (1 Cor. 11:20), meaning "dinner", tells us that it (the Last Supper) was not a token meal (as it has become since) or part of a meal (as it is sometimes envisaged) but an entire, ordinary meal."
- Robert Banks, professor at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia
He has written a must read book for anyone interested in the early Church and reforming our present Church values and practices. The book is Paul's Idea of Community .
