CTCR report — ‘Proper Administration of the Lord’s Supper’

The LCMS Commission on Theology and Church Relations (CTCR) has published Proper Administration of the Lord’s Supper: Applying Scripture and the Confessions to Contemporary Issues.

In this report, the CTCR offers the Synod guidance on three practical issues in our Synod presently: the use of grape juice, pre-packaged elements, and non-wheat hosts.

By way of introduction, the report also provides a brief summary of what Lutherans believe, teach, and confess about the Lord’s Supper.
