I have, for most of my life, gone to a church that practices weekly Communion (what you may also know as the Lord’s Supper, or Eucharist, depending on your background). Unlike Catholic traditions, my evangelical church would pass out tiny little cups containing grape juice, and would have tiny little portions of unleavened bread. We would, as a body, take these little tokens/symbols (for us, not Sacraments) and ‘partake’ of them. That was always the phrase. ‘Partake’. It was never ‘eat’ or ‘digest’ or, heaven forbid, ‘masticate’. We were much more respectful than that.

Designing Evolution - Christianity's Influence on Darwin
The following is a paper I stumbled on today, that I wrote for my Science and Religion class at Dalhousie on February 13, 2009. Although it is not nearly as detailed as it deserves, I think its a good introduction to this topic. Enjoy! (P.S. I remember I did well on this paper, but I don't remember how well. But the clever title was certainly worth an A itself).
