Notes
The Order of the Administration of the Holy Communion according to the Use of the Church of Scotland is a liturgical text used for the celebration of the Eucharist in the Church of Scotland. It reflects the Reformed tradition's emphasis on simplicity, scriptural readings, and thanksgiving. The service focuses on the communal act of remembering Christ's sacrifice, with prayers, the breaking of bread, and the sharing of wine. While influenced by Calvinist theology, the liturgy seeks to balance reverence with accessibility, making it central to the church's worship practices.
