Interview with Martha and Gert Heizer from Austria
Manage episode 343964642 series 3231604
Martha and Gert Heizer were excommunicated for holding a Eucharistic liturgy in their home without a priest. The couple openly discusses why it is necessary to have a presider who is called to a “higher state” that only sexually celebrate men could fulfill. If it is the Holy Spirit who transforms the bread and wine, then the presider is only the instrument. To move the Church forward, perhaps we need to return to the format of the Church as it was in the early days: Christians gathering in homes, in catacombs, wherever they could to love one another, support one another, and celebrate the remembrance of Jesus Christ. When they gathered, they reenacted the last supper together. There were no ordained ministers, no authority figures. There were just followers of Jesus Christ.
