Commensality to Payment
I find the discussion of the evolution from commensality to payment to be a uniquely interesting insight. I'm a bit of a materialist, I think it is reasonable to assume that the way that people act is tied to how they live, and in the case of Jesus' followers this change would seem to represent not only a change in organization, but an associated change in belief. It almost seems like some sort of unfortunate loss of authenticity.

Unfortunate perhaps, but maybe also necessary as the movement grows and evolves. Purity isn't really the point; justice is.
