It is not easy to nail down official Episcopalian doctrine about the Eucharist and as a result there is a wide range of both theology and practice. Most Anglicans will say they believe in the real presence but understand this in a way that goes beyond an emphasis on bodily presence, or else they believe that Christ s presence is physically and yet mysteriously found in the bread and wine. Some hold a theory that is similar to Martin Luther s sacramental union or what is called consubstantiation. This line of thought emphasizes Christ s real presence in the bread and wine but the bread and wine still retain their physical properties and Christ s presence is limited to the time of the celebration. On the other hand, some so-called High Church Anglicans hold doctrines quite close to the Catholic teaching of transubstantiation. These Episcopalians often have impressive liturgies, reserve communion bread, and have Catholic-like devotions such as benediction. In doing so, they do not feel themselves bound by Article 28 of the Anglican 39 Articles of Belief which clearly states that The sacrament of the Lord s Supper was not by Christ s ordinance reserved, carried about, lifted up, or worshipped. In 1971 the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission, a semiofficial group of Catholic and Anglican bishops and scholars published a common agreement on their mutual understanding of the Eucharist. While not representing official doctrine for either Catholics or Anglicans, the members of the commission believed they had reached a formulation that could be acceptable to all. With respect to the Real Presence, the agreement said: Communion with Christ in the Eucharist presupposes his true presence, effectually signified by the bread and wine which, in this mystery, become his body and blood. The real presence of his body and blood can, however, only be understood within the context of the redemptive activity whereby he gives himself, and in himself reconciliation, peace and life, to his own. On the one hand, the Eucharistic gift springs out of the paschal mystery of Christ s death and resurrection, in which God s saving purpose has already been definitively realized. On the other hand, its purpose is to transmit the life of the crucified and risen Christ to his body, the church, so that its members may be more fully united with Christ and with one another.
