St. Anthony's Church
Shenzhen, China
A wonderful community of faith. The first time there, I asked a priest if I could take communion. He answered: "Are you a baptized Christian?" When I said "yes," he looked almost puzzled and answered: "Of course .......... why not?" We may debate transubstantiation, consubstantiation, and of course the old grape juice v. wine issue, but aside from all of that, the real presence of Christ is in that church at the Eucharist.
