I question my own theology

as well as those of liturgies and hymns and if there are some that I am not comfortable with I leave them out. We sing a communion hymn, "Please take this bread and take this wine and give us back your life, O Lord." I am not sure of the theology here but rather than start my own Church, I think about it and don't participate in this very small part of the service. It's a big deal for me but not for anyone else. John Stott said much the same thing about an evangelical hymn, "He lives, my Saviour Lives, he lives within my heart." For him the theology is wrong.
