I believe as well that another point which needs to be stressed here regards the issue of transubstantiation vs. consubstantiation. Lutherans as I recall do not believe in transubstantiation or the concept that at communion the "Lord's supper" literaly becomes the body and blood of Jesus as we observe and particiate in that act of worship. As I recall, Luther belived in consubstantion....not that the wine and bread literally became Jesus' body within us, but that at that observance there was at least a "presence" of the Holy Spirit there.

Why is the altar not as important to protestants as it is to catholics?
Catholics are especially reverent toward the altar because it is where the process of transubstantiation takes place. Transubstantiation is the process in which the gifts of bread and wine are transformed into the body and blood of Christ though the Holy Spirit. Protestants do not believe in transubstantiation. Instead, Protestants believe that the bread and wine are symbols for Christ's body and blood.
