I visited a LCMS church today and suddenly realized the pastor receives the communion elements from elders/deacons, unlike what at least that I’ve noticed, any other sacramental church do. I’ve attended services of LCMC, ELCA & WELS but can’t recall if their pastors self administer the communion elements or not. I know RC priests self administer and I believe Anglican and Episcopal do also. Not sure about E.O. thinking this might be done behind the iconostasis? (Open to correction)
I’m thinking that at least in the case of LCMS it’s in accordance to Matthew 26:26 where it reads”…take and eat…”
Comments and clarifications would be appreciated.
