    Deacon Tim & Cyndi,
    I am enjoying your podcasts tremendously. You truly embody Christ in your words, tone, and deeds. You also reaffirm my protestant beliefs in many, many ways.

    I appreciate your candid explanation of the Eucharist in this podcast. Sacramental rituals were not part of my protestant upbringing, and prove equally puzzling to me as the Jewish rituals are to Cyndi. I was taught the body of Christ lies in his words (his teachings), not in the church, or the act of drinking wine and eating a wafer. I was taught Communion is a daily event. It means to be 'united in Mind' by striving to always think Christ-like thoughts. I was also taught His greatest gift was the resurrection, not for his suffering leading up to it, but for the end result, which is proof Life exists in G-- after the material body is destroyed. Therefore, as a result of this upbringing, I believe "The Lord's Prayer" spoken aloud can evoke the mystical presence of Christ best of all.

    So, now you'll understand why I'm wondering... Is it true the Catholic church does not say aloud the last line of this Prayer? "For thou art the kingdom and the power and the glory forever."

    Thanks in advance for furthering my education of Christianity's roots. I was very proud of the way you both handled the Pharisees who wrote about Salvation. Please keep passing on The Good News in your own ways.
    Nancy
