Summary
At last year’s “Exiles in Babylon” conference, Francis Chan kicked it off with a bang! He opened up the whole can of Chan about why we need to get back to the centrality of the Eucharist. This podcast episode is a recording of that talk, along with the couch conversation I had with him and the audience Q & A.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends. Welcome back to another episode of Theology in the Raw. Today's podcast |
| 0:04.3 | episode is a recording of Francis Chan's talk at last year's exiles and Babylon conference. |
| 0:10.4 | He focused on the Eucharist, focused on the unity of the church. It was very challenging |
| 0:15.6 | if not provocative. And then Francis and I sat down on the couch, had a conversation. |
| 0:20.2 | Then we fielded questions from the audience. So the entire Francis Chan event is here for |
| 0:26.4 | your listening ears. If you would like to check out next year's exiles and Babylon conference, |
| 0:31.9 | you can all the info is at theologyintheraw.com. This space is already filling up fairly fast. |
| 0:38.1 | It will probably sell out last year's event, sold out. So if you want to attend live, |
| 0:42.8 | I would register sooner than later. All right, here's Francis Chan back on Theology in Iraq. |
| 0:57.4 | I wanted to put the bread and cup in the center of the church because for the first |
| 1:04.1 | 1500 years after Christ, this is what they did. The body and blood were always central. |
| 1:14.6 | The church gathered to partake of the body and blood of Christ. This was always in the center. |

| 1:30.7 | that a guy named Ulrich Zwingli decided to move communion from the center, move it off to the side |
| 1:39.0 | and put his pulpit there. Did you know that 1500 years Jesus was always at the center? |
| 1:48.3 | And then someone moves it and puts a wooden pulpit in the center. And then priest and other guys |
| 1:56.5 | go, gosh, that's kind of cool. Let me do that. Let me do that. And it's what used to unify us, |
| 2:05.1 | what used to bring us all together. This is what was supposed to bring us together. So it's |
| 2:10.2 | supposed to be one cup, one piece of bread. But the moment we start doing pulpits in the center, |
| 2:17.0 | pretty soon it's about no, the pulpit at our church, my pastor, his theology is better than the pulpit |
| 2:23.7 | over there and the pulpit over there and the pulpit over there. And now we have these 30,000 |
| 2:28.1 | denominations a year. And everyone's fighting about who's right. And you realize that for the first |
