Can Easter People Support RFRA?

Maundy Thursday, in a sense, moves the major narrative of Holy Week into high gear. Jesus and the disciples gather into the upper room to share Passover together. They partake in the symbols of their ancestors, remembering the long arc of Jewish history reaching out to them from the days of their Egyptian captivity. But Jesus adds something new to the meal; he gives his disciples the bread, his body, and the cup, his blood. These symbols end up extending beyond the Seder and become for Christians the communion we share together. They also embody the communion we have together in loving community. In other words, Maundy Thursday is a pretty big deal. We’re remembering “in remembrance of me.”
