I'm wondering what the evangelical covenant church's theolgy of the eucharist is. In memory of Christ (only)? Real presence? How? Body and Blood of Christ?

I think they're Lutheran, which means that they hold neither to Catholic nor Reformed understandings of the Eucharist. They definitely would reject transubstantiation. --One Salient Oversight 06:31, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Clarified church's position on abortion, added material on the "four distinctives" of the Evangelical Covenant Church, repointed Adherents.com link to a current page- however, because adherents.com continually updates its database and doesn't support permalinks by denomination, I'd suggest finding a different source. (also, adherents.com doesn't seem to like terminal slashes, which seemed to upset the link- not wanting to spam up the works too much, I left it be for a more wiki-knowledgable editor to fix)

The Church has no official position on the Eucharist. They take a middle of the road position on contentious issues which is aimed at uniting Christians to bring the gospel to the world.

Here is a nice, but slow loading PDF dissertation on the history of the denomination. [1] PDF. It is 353 pages long, so I don't have time to incorporate it while at work. GRBerry 19:42, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
