Anglican Terms Glossary A guide
for non-Anglicans (and new Anglicans) to many of the terms and phrases in use
in many Anglican Churches.
. ·
Wafer - the bread part of the
Lord's Supper; often an unleavened, thin cracker; sometimes the wafer is
imprinted with a cross; some wafers are large, being several inches in
diameter ·

stripping of the altars on Maundy Thursday. ·

Wedding - The Celebration and
Blessing of a Marriage (see BCP,423ff). ·
Wine - the beverage portion of
communion symbolizing the blood of Christ; equivalent to the grape juice used
in some protestant churches. Communion wine is fermented grape juice and
is therefore alcoholic. Wine and vineyards were symbols of happiness and
signs of God's blessing in the Promised Land. Mixing wine and water has
roots in historical practicality and theological insight. Historically,
wine carried by the traveler was mixed with the water of the desert to purify
it. Theologically, the ordinariness of our lives (water) is mingled with the
extraordinariness of the Divine Life (wine). This also serves to remind
us of the dual nature of Christ, both God and human being; and that out of
his side flowed water and blood. ·

this part of the Eucharist is on the reading of Scripture and prayers of
