Eucharist

====Open Brethren and Exclusive Brethren====
Among [[Open Brethren|Open]] assemblies, also termed [[Plymouth Brethren]], the Eucharist is more commonly called the Breaking of Bread or the Lord's Supper. They believe it is only a symbolic reenactment of the Last Supper and a memorial,<ref name="Gibson">{{cite web |last1=Gibson |first1=Jean |title=Lesson 13: The Lord's Supper |url=http://plymouthbrethren.org/article/4960 |publisher=Plymouth Brethren Writings |access-date=27 April 2022 |language=English}}</ref> and is central to the worship of both individual and assembly.<ref name="Darby">Darby, J.N., quoted in Bradshaw, P.F.

The service takes the form of non-liturgical, open worship with all male participants allowed to pray audibly and select hymns or readings. The breaking of bread itself typically consists of one leavened loaf, which is prayed over and broken by a participant in the meeting<ref>Muller, G. (1860) ''A Narrative of some of the Lord's dealings with George Muller''</ref>{{rp|279–281}} and then shared around. The wine is poured from a single container into one or several vessels, and these are again shared around.<ref>Bradshaw, P.F.

The [[Exclusive Brethren]] follow a similar practice to the [[Open Brethren]]. They also call the Eucharist the Breaking of Bread or the Lord's Supper.<ref name="Darby" />
