I am studying for my Session a series of common questions dealing with the Lord's Supper. Thus, I am looking for resources to see Biblically moreso than historically the practice of the Lord's Supper.
My questions relate to:
1) Administration (Besides Institution and Prayer, is there anything specifically in the actual administration that needs to be changed (changed from what is found in common American Presbyterianism?)
2) Frequency (How often should we administer the Lord's Supper?)
3) Elements (Should/must we use leavened/unleavened bread; wine/grape juice?)
4) Actions (Eating/Drinking; Should it be more individual or more like a celebration? Should there be a table that people gather around? Should it be a feast rather than what often occurs in American worship? What does this look like practically?)
So as I am looking for sources an example for #2 would be the Directory of Publick Worship where it refers to the frequency. I am not looking for books so much so on the meaning of the Lord's Supper, but books, articles, confessions that deal with these questions. Please keep it in the realm of Reformed Presbyterianism.
