Abstract: How can we describe the connection between the Lord’ Supper and the process of community building in the Hungarian Reformed Church? This article deals with some aspects of this question and investigate the practical background of Lord’ Supper in the Reformed tradition. The Lord’s Supper is a present from God, which help to rebuild and renew the people, who live from the power of grace. At the same time the frequent and deep experience of Lord’s Supper also lead to the building of church community. In this study, we explore concepts that help us better understand the community-building function of the sacrament. We call the help of biblical studies, dogmatics and pastoral psychology as well. These disciplines show the deep and complex background behind the liturgy of the Lord’s Supper, which are unrecognizable during the daily practice. However, if we try to use these recognitions, we will explore a new dimension of the Lord’s Supper in the life of the church.
