14. Those prayers were part of Communion in the Methodist

church for a very long time. I figured they were from the Anglican/Episcopal BCP; since the Wesleys were Anglican priests.

We recited those prayers as part of the Communion service; by the time I was 9 I had them memorized. I have always loved them and also go back to them when I feel the need for a spiritual connection. I can also time travel a bit, back to my youth in our tiny little church.

Now we use this other, more modern service which I do not care for. However the old traditional one is still in the back of the Hymnal.
