As for communion...it's the "Lord's Supper". It has nothing to do with a wafer and a thimble of grape juice. It was to be a full meal, having a single loaf of bread and a single cup, complete with meat and wine. It was to be a time of rememberance and fellowship. Not a ritual or ceremony.
What we observe is a Catholic bastardization of the Lord's Supper that was instituted ceremoniously to accomodate large masses of people in the Roman Catholic cathedrals.
