"With all the conceptual truths in the universe at his disposal," writes Barbara Brown Taylor, "[Jesus] did not give them something to think about together when he was gone. Instead, he gave them concrete things to do--specific ways of being together in their bodies--that would go on teaching them what they needed to know when he was no longer around to teach them himself . . . 'Do this,' he said--not believe this but do this--'in remembrance of me.' "40"
