Meals are the settings in which families rehearse their stories, repeatedly trading tales and histories, realizing afresh what it means to be a Webber, a Clapp, or whomever. Without memory there is no identity or vision and so no personhood. The Eucharist is the church’s meal, a repast taken to praise God, to nourish it, and to refresh its memory and so its unique identity and its eschatological vision.
