This brown bag lunch program will explore reasons why Schwenckfeld encouraged the non-observance of the Eucharist from some of his final written thoughts on the matter. It will draw on a previously untranslated treatise from the Corpus Schwenkfeldianorum that Caspar Schwenckfeld wrote in August 1561, which was only a few months before his death. It will then proceed to consider how Schwenckfeld’s thoughts impacted George Weiss, the leader of the Schwenkfelders in the early 1700’s, as he wrote about the Eucharist in his catechism.
