Eucaristía de comunión: Sacramento de la Iglesia Glocal

Abstract

A Eucharistic Communion praxis is proposed which corresponds with the nature of Latín American Christianity in diaspora and the ecclesiastic paradigm of Pentecost. The myth of global interconnectedness, which projects a global citizenship without any uniting content, is questioned. In its place it is offered the Eucharistic Communion as sacrament of a church born in the junctures of the globalized world and which models another way of linking us together.
Such a Eucharist arises, not from a neocolonial myth, rather from the sacred story of the death and resurrection of the global God in the local community. In that ambiguous cultural space, called the ‘glocal’ church, an open and inclusive table is prepared.
