Bread from the world: World Communion Liturgy

Utilizing breads from around the world, this liturgy by Heather Prince Doss invites congregations into an embodied appreciation for diversity and unity.

World Communion Sunday is a day when Christian churches around the world have all agreed to celebrate communion as a sign of our oneness in Jesus Christ. Not all Christian traditions participate, but many do, and the day is a powerful reminder of our unity in Christ despite the theological, political, linguistic, and cultural differences in the church around the world.

I wrote the following liturgy for use in my congregation. Members have agreed to bring the breads listed. In some cases, they will make bread from their country of origin. You could adapt the breads to your own context. This liturgy is for you to use and adapt, provided you credit me and Presbyterian Outlook. I am likewise grateful for Rev. Sarah Campbell and Rev. Jordan Rimmer for ideas that contributed to this liturgy.

You can access the liturgy here.
