When I started with my first PCA church, the pastor used a round loaf of 'leavened' bread. It was baked by one of the women in the church, specifically for the Lord's Supper and it was definitely a yeast risen bread. Coming from a Catholic/Episcopal background, where all that was used at either church were the wafers, I was a bit confused so I asked him about it. <br><br>He said the 'leavened' bread of Scripture was what we would today call sourdough, whereby the 'starter' for a new loaf comes from the remnants of a previous loaf. The analogy reminded me of the Covenant, not putting new wine into old wineskins, sewing new patches on old clothes, and I still prefer it. <br><br>I have to say, though, I have never seen another PCA church do this.<br><br>Blessings,<br><br>Hannahsmom<br><br>
