The Means of Grace are the instruments by which God communicates to us the justifying, sanctifying, and perfecting grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. There are many means of grace; principle among those that have been traditionally identified are: prayer, fasting, worship, preaching, the study of the scriptures, fellowship, service, giving, and the historic dominical sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion. Through these means of grace -- and, most especially, through the blessed Sacrament of Holy Communion -- God communicates to us the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through the Eucharist we are nourished by the love of God, empowered for mission and ministry, bound together into the body of Christ, and transformed into greater and greater likenesses of our risen Lord. In the Lord's Supper we meet Jesus, face to face, and partake of his real presence. Suffice it to say, Holy Communion is very important for Christian life, faith, and practice. It is for all of these reasons that a section of Grace Incarnate has been set aside and devoted to explicating the theological meaning, liturgical form, celebration practice, and faithful participation in the Eucharist.

In the Communion Theology Resources section will be found articles, papers, sermons, and other discourses pertaining to the meaning of the Eucharist in Christian faith and history.

In the Communion Liturgy Resources section will be found Eucharistic rituals from the United Methodist and Anglican traditions, as well as liturgies which I have written for use in worship.

In the Communion Video Resources section will be found links to video Eucharists which I have celebrated.

In the Communion Celebration Lab will be found a tutorial containing suggestions for clergy to help them develop a clean, worshipful, intentional, and effective method for presiding at the Sacrament. Attention will be given to celebration styles for use in both Traditional and Non-traditional services.

One final element will be included, both in several of the above-listed sections as well as in its own sub-section: the reception of Holy Communion over the Internet. As an expression of devotion and as an experimental practice, this subject has garnered a great deal of criticism from multiple quarters, both inside and out of the United Methodist Church. I have written theological articles which address the subject, at length, and I have video communions which allow people to join in with a worshiping congregation as an experiment in practical sacramentality.
