What are the similarities and differences? Draw out from their research that for Catholics and Orthodox Christians and some Anglicans believe that the bread and wine become the body of Christ – Jesus is fully present in the bread and wine. Protestant Christians do not believe this, but instead perform Holy Communion as a reminder of Jesus’ works and actions at the Last Supper – it is a symbol of Jesus’ sacrifice. Also use this as a reminder that no matter their beliefs about Communion, all would agree it helps bring the community together and bring them closer to God.
