Call me a crazy, liberal Methodist who is going to be the down fall of Christianity... but let the girl have her communion wafer that won't endanger her life. I honestly doubt the Father would care and isn't his opinion the one that counts, anyway?

I find that quite appalling.

I was brought up very definitely non-conformist (so grape juice at communion and I'm sure rice wafers wouldn't have been a problem - not that I've ever been a communicant even at a URC/Methodist service), so have of course never believed in transubstantiation. And I can see that believing in transubstantiation would make a bit of difference. But it's still very hard for me to get my head around believing on any level that God would want a girl with coeliac disease to consume wheat, or an alcoholic to consume alcohol.

Mind if I swipe the link and quote it on my own journal? Will of course say where I got it from! I have a lot of liberal Roman and Anglo-Catholics on my friends list who'd find this very interesting. Including one who a) has coeliac disease and b) is hoping to become a priest one day...

And can I say that for such a controversial issue the discussion of it here seems incredibly polite, thoughtful and calm? Go your friends list! *grin*

IMHO that's because she's an incredibly splendid person and like finds like.

By the way, I just noticed that you and I have quite a few interests and friends in common, so I've taken the liberty of adding you to my list :)

::blushblush::

Go ahead and take the link! Hopefully, discussion on your flist can be just as well thought out (considering I was mostly being sarcastic, I'm surprised discussion started but I somehow think I should have).

My flist is truly the best ever. ::g::

*chuckle* Can we settle for primus inter pares, since I think that mine's pretty wonderful too?

Certainly. ::g::
