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?

Same as they would for anything that doesn't fit their doctrine - see the link that I posted at the beginning of the discussion. Satan-inspired Idolatry, it seems.

Yeah, I know that I shouldn't have been surprised at the Ryvita and Ribena Mass, but all my formal religious exposure as a young'un was to High (very High) Anglicanism - it just really hadn't occurred to me that anyone might celebrate the Eucharist with anything other than wafers and (not very nice) wine.

But milk and cookies! That's lovely, but I think that I might be misled by expecting a bedtime story and a kiss goodnight afterwards :)

Satan-inspired Idolatry... *shakes head* I'mma try to be polite and not say what I'm tempted to on that count. >.<;

I think it's perfectly understandable that someone brought up in Catholicism might be surprised (even shocked) at the use of anything but the standard wafers and wine. After all, when you're a kid, rules are rules and they DON'T get broken (or at least, not by the grown-ups...)

*chuckles* Well, they get the bedtime story! Children's Time (a part of the service where our pastor condenses and rewords his sermon into a children's tale) usually comes right after Communion. But, unless they get them from their parents, I fear they're sorely lacking in the goodnight kiss department. ;o)
