It took a year to read the Bible, then almost 9 months to read the Apocrypha. Now, I'm going to try to offer reflections on the Narrative Lectionary. But, I won't be posting daily--at least, for a while.

Questions that arose from reading 1 Corinthians 11:27-34

How disturbed should we be when we read verse 27, that eating the bread or drinking the cup inappropriately makes us guilty of the Lord's body and blood, that those of us who eat and drink without correctly understanding the body are eating and drinking their own judgment?

Who is doing the judgments that Paul is deploring  and those that he is recommending?

What are they doing that Paul find unacceptable? Is it not waiting for everybody to get to the supper?
