Bible Question:
Dear Nolan Keck, I appreciate your answer. I think that a foot-washing afterward is beautiful. One question: are women involved in this communion and footwashing? In Jesus' name, charis |
Bible Answer: Hello again charis.. Yes, the women are involved with the foot washing but the men wash one another's feet while the women wash each other's feet. This is a beautiful act of servanthood immediately after Communion and I had the blessed opportunity to wash two of my brother's feet! One of which was my first cousin, Neil, whom I enjoyed coming to a faith in Christ over the past 3 years! We hugged each other and are much closer now as brothers then we ever were as cousins! Foot washing in my church is an integral part of Communion. But everything is undertaken with a sense of humility and servanthood, and it would not have the same meaning to go through this so many times a year. |
