Communion on the Moon

Maybe you've seen this already-- since it was back on Monday that marked the anniversary of the first-man-on-the-moon-- but I've been away from the blog for most of the week.

While I believe that the Lord's Supper, as an act of communion*, should be observed in the community of the church, this is still a fascinating story.

Go here to read about how Buzz Aldrin (The Second Man on the Moon!) observed the Lord's Supper just a few minutes after landing the lunar module on July 20, 1969.


*1 Corinthians 10:16 "The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?" The word "participation" here in the ESV was "communion" in the old King James Version, and is the same word often translated in other passages as fellowship, partnership, or sharing. You can't have fellowship, partnership, participation, sharing, or communion by yourself.
