Paul Fiddes and his coauthors emphasize that this communion is only possible within the fellowship of the \u003ci\u003etriune\u003c\/i\u003e God who covenants with and for believers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReframing communion within a theology of covenant enables the affirmation of the practice of prayer and mutual support with \u003ci\u003eall\u003c\/i\u003e faithful disciples, both alive and dead. Such a covenantal understanding of communion avoids an unhealthy obsession with communication with those who have died. \u003ci\u003eBaptists and the Communion of Saints\u003c\/i\u003e thus makes a significant and practical difference in the way Baptists understand the nature of the church, prepare their worship, care for the dying and the bereaved, go on spiritual journeys, and celebrate baptism and the Lord's Supper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-107705\"\u003ePaul S.
