Inter-denominational Eucharist - Official Position?

[seeking_perfection]

It does. But I tend to apply it to most areas of Anglicanism, since it seems to fit...

I'd be a bit wary about applying statements on one thing to questions about entirely different things. For example...

Do I need to be baptised?
Do I need to believe in the Trinity?
Do I need to recognise Jesus as my Lord?
Should I ever go to church?
Should I base my moral judgements on the law of God?

I would disagree that 'All may, some should, none must' is the answer to any of these questions yet all these are areas of Anglicanism and Christianity in general.

I think Timothy was referring to actions. The things you mention can be left to discipleship. Let the Holy Spirit be your guide. For example, as a Christian, you will find going to church irresistible, even when you don't really want to. Belief in the Trinity is a natural progression of your faith - it is difficult to force yourself to do this. Moral judgments will be guided by the HS, etc etc.

Remember, we are not a church governed by the arbitrary rules of men. We have the Holy Spirit on our side. It is up to us to read the bible in the power of the holy spirit and make up our own minds. Although part of growing as Christians is seeking the counsel of those who are more mature in their faith, it is only advice, they do not command us.

I know a number of very "serious" Christians who feel they do not need to, and do not want to, go to church. Some are the kind that would be inclined to be very picky about who counts as a "real" Christian - you have to be saved and all.

I'm not sure it is the case that Christians will eventually want to do whatever they are supposed to be doing as a natural progression. To some degree it happens, but it isn't that simple.
