The Anglican Church in Uruguay (IAU)
and ECUMENISM
The Council of Christian Churches of Uruguay (CICU)
met on 5th June for their annual General Assembly. At
that meeting our Bishop, Michele Pollesel, was elected
President for the period June 2015 to May 2016.
The CICU was founded in 1998. It brings together 10 Christian churches under
varying degrees of membership, as well as including the YMCA as an associate
member.
Its objectives are:
1) Organize the yearly Week of Prayer for Christian Unity – which takes place the
week before Pentecost;
2) Promote spaces for gathering, mutual understanding and Christian dialogue;
3) Support venues for study and reflection on ecumenism;
4) Working at all levels to sensitize Uruguayan society about the reality of the
Christian presence in its midst, in such a way that it can visualize the consistent
efforts of our members to work in a coordinated way to address current challenges,
to better understand our unity on essential issues that concern us all, and that this
union is a tool to better proclaim the Good News of Jesus, based on John 17:21.
Bishop Michele: All Anglicans in Uruguay wish you God´s blessings in this new
responsibility and may God grant you the necessary gifts and strength to fulfill the
task ahead in the best possible way and for the benefit of all: Christians and non-
Christians within our country.
Pe. Enrique Illarze, OblSB.
Alternate Anglican Representative to CICU

Project:
Approaching young folk from Posada de Belén by a few folk from Holy Trinity
Cathedral. Posada de Belén is one of the residences for young people that is run
by the Anglican Church of Uruguay.
It seeks to initiate the youngsters in the knowledge of Christ Jesus.
Methodology: research, action – with brief activities (such as visits, meetings,
storytelling, lectures, sharing, giving thanks for simple meals, etc.)
We give thanks for the presence of the young people at the bilingual Eucharist on
Trinity Sunday and for their visit to the Cathedral in recent days.

Liturgical Symbols - VI.- BREAD.-
I.- Anthropology.
Since ancient times humans have used to prepare food grains, as is
continued today: barley, rice, wheat, are best known.
The grain was collected in the harvest, shelled, ground manually at first and
later in stone mills to make flour, and then it was mixed with water, yeast
and salt, kneaded, left to ferment, and cooked in ovens of various types: on
the ground in holes, on metal plates, or even in between hot coals covered
with ashes.
Then "cakes" were placed on sticks, on a long table or in baskets. No knife was used to cut it. It was
simply broken by hand. All of these processes and practices, which were common at that time are
described in all cultures, and in the biblical writings there are numerous details.
In the Near and Middle East the most common was barley bread (Ju.7,3; Ez.4,9). On special
occasions or in worship wheat bread, which was considered a luxury, was used. Normally its making
was part of the female work and it was usually made early in the morning (Gn.18,6; Jer.7,18; Mt.
13:33).
II.- Symbolism.
Bread is seen as the great symbol of food. Its lack denotes scarcity, famine and
hunger, while its presence connotes abundance,nutrition and life. When broken
and shared, it means that people are linked by bonds of friendship or
allegiance. Nowadays, the UN Organization for Agriculture and Food (FAO) has
as its motto the Latin expression: "Fiat Panis", i.e.: "Let there be bread", in a
clear allusion the symbolic value of bread as "the" food par excellence.
III.- Sacred Use.
A) In the Old Testament.
There are many mentions of the religious use of bread.
* Bread of Passover (Ex 12.8) that accompanies the Jewish Passover
Seder dinner.
* 12 loaves of Proposition or Presence (Lev. 24.5) placed every
Saturday on a small altar in front of the Holy of Holies in the Temple
of Jerusalem. On each loaf, pure incense was put as a way of
consacrating them.
* the two Breads of the First Fruits, or Harvest: 2 loaves offered by
each Family at the beginning of the Feast of the Weeks (Pentecost),
rendereing thanks to God for the fertility of the Earth.
* The bread of the sacrifice offered by Melchizedek with Abraham (Gn. 14.18 to 20).
* "To eat the bread" with someone was an expression for describing a meal during which a loaf of
bread was ritually broken and eaten by the attendants, as a sign of alliance (Gn. 31,54;
Obad.7). The expression also means to have strong bonds of affection and or of affection between
those who share the action (Ps. 41,10).
* The material bread, bodily nourishment, it is assimilated to wisdom and intelligence, feeding the

8
human spirit (Eclo.15,3; Prov.9,5).
* The expression "give (receive, eat) the bread of tears" means divine judgment and punishment.
B) In the New Testament.
esus uses bread in his preaching, miracles and actions.
* In the multiplication of the loaves (Mc.6,30; Mt.14,13-
21; Lc.9,10-17; Jn.6,1-13).
* "Eat bread in the kingdom of God," Lk. 14,15, meaning
to participate in the heavenly feast.
* Jesus is proclaimed and identifies himself with bread,
like "bread from heaven" (Jn.6,31ss); "bread of life"
(Jn.6,35-48); "living bread" or "bread of life" (Jn.6,51).
* Bread of the Last Supper (Luke 22.19 to 20; Mt.26,26-
28; Mk. 14: 22-24.) about which St. Paul also speaks in 1
Cor. 11:23- 25).
IV.- In Christianity.-
1) Christianity preserved the symbolic meaning of bread existing in the Greco-Roman culture and in the
Jewish tradition, and also put it in the center of its principal rite: the eucharist and this fact remains
unchanged till the present time.
Notwithstanding, Christians have internal diferences in relation with the kind of bread to be used in
the Eucharist: leavened or unleavened bread?
Eastern Churches use leavened bread for communion (except Armenians).
Western Churches use unleavened bread.
The difference was consolidated and was one of the pretexts in the Great Schism of 1054 that
divided Eastern permanently to western Christianity.
2) In Anglicanism.- Archbishop Cranmer (1489-1556), in the 1st. Book of Common Prayer of 1549
ordained to continue with the traditional use of unleavened bread for communion; but in the 2nd.
Book of Common Prayer of 1552 he changed his mind and
authorized the use of both kinds of bread.
The Injunction of Queen Elizabeth I of 1559 tried to restore the use
of just the unleavened bread, but without much success, and finally
the Book of Common Prayer of 1662 authorizes both kinds of bread.
Presently this discussion, important at that time, is only a minor
problem, and various of the newest Books of Common Prayer, in
many Provinces of the Anglican Communion, expressily allow the
giving of communion with both kinds of bread.

The second Ecumenical encounter, took place on Friday June 26, at Librería
San Pablo, within the framework of institutional Week of San Pablo (before
the feast of Saints Peter and
Paul, Martyrs - June 29th).
The Prayer meeting was well
attended with the presence of
Christians from various
denominations, who shared
the Word of God, prayed and
gave thanks for the gift of
being witnesses of the reality
of being united in that which
is essential, free in what is
accidental and above all, brothers/sisters in the same Lord.
Bishop Michele Pollesel and Fr Enrique Illarze
represented the Anglican Church, as witnesses of
our commitment to ecumenism.
The Society of St. Paul, founded by Bt Alberione is
very involved in ecumenical work and especially promotes the area of
communication.
We greet Librería San Pablo Library and Librería Paulinas, both belonging
to the same religious society.
