The descriptioss I've read about Communion as part of a fellowship meal are beautiful.
As non-Jewish Christians I think we often miss a lot of the meaning of Communion as it began, as part of the Passover meal. At Passover, if a house was too small for a lamb, they were to share it with their nearest neighbor. (Ex12:4) At Communion, each was to wait on the others, not leaving one hungry and another full. Any male, even foreigners and aliens, who had been circumcised could eat of it, just as those who have been baptized may.
