The presence of the body and blood of Christ in the Sacrament of the Altar is the place where the divisions of Christendom can alone be finally healed. -- Dr. Norman Nagel, CTM 1968, p. 227.

If we really believe it is the Lord's Supper and not the Lutheran Supper, then all those who believe in the REAL PRESENCE of Christ's body and blood and his forgiveness of our sins will be welcome at our altar.
The late, great Martin Luther said: "That person is truly worthy and well prepared who has faith in these words; 'Given and shed for you for the forgiveness of sins."
Our blessed Reformer understood that Eucharist was not an obstacle course to gain entry into, but a blessed meal to receive His body and blood to forgive our sins. Nagel is right on this one.
