This is a discerning post, clearly stated, with such an incredibly important message. <br /><br />As I've read this again, I am in awe of your words. You make me envious of the thief on the cross.<br /><br />It's a privilege to know you, Glynn.

So much can be "lost in translation" so to speak - but in reality, for the Christian, fellowship is first with our Savior Jesus Christ, and secondly with our brethren, our fellow believers. Holy Communion is a prime example of sharing in fellowship for the common good and edification.
