"What is done to the consecrated elements of the bread and wine is done directly to Christ Himself"

...

"Dogmatically speaking, 'individual cups' are as adiaphorous as the divinity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

...

"As we go out of our way to put up with the idiosyncrasies of each other, there is no room for compromise when the honor of Christ Himself is at stake"

-John R. Stephenson, "A Retraction Issued Thirty Years Too Late", Gottesdienst, Christmas 2023
