Miscellaneous:
WHY DO WE KNEEL AND PRAY IN THE COMMUNION SERVICE?
Praying in Communion Services:
"The sacrament shall be observed ... by a short interval of solemn and silent self-examination by each member, as to his or her fitness to be called a follower of Christ, Truth; as to his real state of love toward man, and fellowship and communion with Christ; as to whether he is gaining in the understanding and demonstration of Truth and Love, coming out from the world and being separated from error; growing less selfish, more charitable and spiritual, yea, walking worthy of his high calling.” (Mary Baker Eddy, The Christian Science Journal, volume 7, 1889-90, page 259).
“One should turn into his consciousness with renewed carefulness the ever- searching light of Truth. Shall it not be a specific time for purging from one's thought all that is unworthy and untrue?”
(Ella W. Hoag, Communion Services, July 5, 1919 Christian Science Sentinel)
