On this episode, the Irenic Protestants become the Eucharistic Protestants as we have an open forum conversation on the issue of the frequency of the Lord's Supper.
Disclaimer: The issue discussed in the episode is of a pastoral nature and thus we need to caveat that none of us are pastors in Christ's Church. We are mere undergraduates who all aspire to the office of overseer, but we are not your local pastor or session. So please take our opinions with a grain of salt when it comes to any issues of pastoral wisdom. Enjoy the Show.
