A Sacramental Raw Foods Movement

” . . . an approach that will make the celebration of the rites more important than the preaching. Preaching will be understood as mystagogy. More and more preaching will be thought of as the explanation of the rites; more and more it will be imagined that it is the rites themselves which communicate; and eventually it will come to the point where the rites will be celebrated without any preaching at all. They will be thought of as sufficient in themselves. They will no longer seal the preaching of the Word but will replace the preaching of the Word” (Hughes Oliphant Old, The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures, Vol. II, p. 324).
