“When we come to the Table in Communion we are called to take time to be together. The Eucharist ought not to have an express lane. It takes time: time to serve the elements of The Meal, time to stand in line, time to think and pray, time to prepare to eat together, and time to remember how we got there.”

Milton Brasher-Cunningham, Keeping the Feast: Metaphors for the Meal, New York: Morehouse, 2012, 48.
