Traditionally, churches of Christ have observed the Lord’s supper each Sunday — and only on that day.

In 2003, we published a review of Dr. Thomas West’s book, Jesus and the Quest for Meaning. West is a Professor of Theology at the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, Minnesota.

As a courtesy to him, we are publishing his letter of protest, and our response to the same.
