It looks like our fellowship is in the middle of a theological paradigm shift, and I don't think that's an overstatement.
Since I started reading church history religiously in 2004, I've lamented the fact that certain branches of the Protestant tree tend to ignore the Lord's Supper. Our non-denominational Antioch stems from a Baptist background, and at most Baptist churches I've encountered, Communion is only observed on average once a quarter. It seems the leadership at Antioch is planning on delving into the Lord's Supper with more consistency.
Nate Bobbett delivered the message and spent some time talking about how the church throughout history has viewed the Lord's Supper. With regard to how often the meal should be taken, he quoted the Didache, Tertullian (I think), Augustine, Calvin, Luther, and Zwingli. He even covered transubstantiation, consubstantiation, and other views with regard to whether the elements are literally the body and blood of our Lord or not. What's Antioch's view? I don't know. His explanation seemed ambiguous to me. I think what he communicated was that the elements are "somehow" the body and blood, but didn't seem to go so far as to say they are literally His body and blood.
It's going to be interesting to see how all of this works out practically. I am liking this new emphasis, though.

Sounds like the speaker was going Lutheran. "consubstantiation" :-)
Our Baptist Church does it once every other month...so 6 times a year.
How often will your church be doing it now?
