From my readings, and especially from the 3 Forms of Unity emphases, would I be correct in saying that confessional Continental Reformed churches will have a view of the Lord's Supper, the way it is a means of grace, and the emphasis on it that is slightly more Anglican or Lutheran than many Presbyterians would?
Basically my best friend, a monergistic, non-pietistic Lutheran (LCMS), was enquiring as to the churches and denominations closest to conservative Lutheranism he should next consider. I suggested Reformed Anglican and next in line, something like the URCNA, as he does agree with the Lutheran stance on the sacraments and wants something as close to that perspective as possible in the church he attends.
I say this as one who myself would attend a Reformed Anglican or Confessional Lutheran church first if there was no good Presbyterian/Reformed congregation around, and both of those groups tend to have a "higher" view of the sacraments.
