Communion was open to everyone attending, the minister would announce. "You don't need to be a member of our church, you don't need to be a member of anything, just a person who would like to use this symbol to represent your desire to more closely experience the love of God."
I think that my very positive experiences with that minister, and his use of that type of phrase, helped me recognize the positivity of the Law of One channelings. When they say to use whatever is spiritual food for your soul, and set aside the rest knowing it was offered by love, I feel a great deal of warmth and remember the deeply Christlike loving concern of that minister's prayer.
Questioner, that is probably the most powerful communion prayer I have ever heard. So inclusive! Very much aligned with the Law of One.
A minister who says a prayer like that from his heart...really must be in tune with his higher self and guides, the Holy Spirit, in christian terms. Is he still around? Would his church work for you as a community?
As far as a seeker's church, on a small scale we kind of have that here. Though very limited...it's nice to have some faces that go with names, and warm bodies to give real hugs!
