Years ago, whe we were studying a book, I think it was "The Eucharist" by Alexander Schmemman, or "Being as Communion" by Ziziulus, we started looking at the idea of the bread and wine in communion being a symbol( using the Greek idea of symbol) of what bread and wine were supposed to be, IE they were to bring life. The thought was that everything that was supposed to deliver life only really postpones death, instead of bringing life. Communion was referred to as the medicine of immortality ( a phrase used by Ignatius). "That which is mortal is swallowed up by life" reminds me of that thought. I think that we, as Christians, need to find that thing inside all things which reveals its true or redeemed nature, in a sense so that when we look at England(to use a phrase from Narnia) we see Engalnd as she really was meant to be, and then farther up a deeper in!
Good subject, thanks for the reminder!

Thanks for the comment Dennis! I probably wouldn't have made that connection with communion. Interesting thoughts.
