And it spills over into this country. We have several 'mixed' families where the husband is Maronite and the wife is Orthodox or vice versa. They send their children to us for religious education but also take them to services in the Orthodox Church. Both husbands and wives receive communion at each other's respective churches.
Yes, I am aware of that and it makes me happy on the one hand, but it also makes me sad on the other because it is not true communion but a mechanical manifestation of one. If these people realized what Communion means, they wouldn't be doing it.
We don't share the same faith (yet). It got off track more than 1,000 years ago and hasn't been the same since. Doing charades and pretending that we can go visit each other and partake in the Eucharist is contrary to our understanding of the mysterion.
