Page "Fraction (religion)" Paragraph 6

In the churches of the Anglican Communion, the rite is similar to that practised in the Roman Catholic Church, and consists of the priest breaking the Host in half and making an exclamation, such as, " We break this bread to share in the body of Christ ", and the faithful making a response, such as, " Though we are many we are one body, because we all share in one bread " The response may change during certain liturgical seasons, or according to the rite being celebrated.
