Receptionism

Receptionism is a form of Anglican eucharistic theology which teaches that during the Eucharist the bread and wine remain unchanged after the consecration, but when communicants receive the bread and wine, they also receive the body and blood of Christ by faith.^[1]^[2] It was a common view among Anglicans in the 16th and 17th centuries, and prominent theologians who subscribed to this doctrine were Thomas Cranmer and Richard Hooker. Receptionism is a form of the Reformed doctrine of the real spiritual presence formulated by John Calvin and Heinrich Bullinger.^[3]
