But the central part of the mass -- the "transsubstantiation" and the
bread-worship -- is different; AIUI even the "highest-church" Anglicans
do not worship the bread, and regard it as merely *symbolising* their
god rather than actually *being* him.  And of course the lower-church
you get the more removed that part is from AZ, till you get to the
very low, borderline puritan church, where they would deliberately
throw the leftovers in a mokom tinuf, in order to show that they don't
think it's a god.

Or am I mistaken about that?
