@pastorpauldrees: For those of you unfamiliar, closed communion is the practice where a church only grants communion to members that the leader deems worthy. In my humble opinion, this practice is sinful. If you want to hear my much longer explanation (with more nuance), please check out my channel on YouTube! It’s the same username you’ll find here. #progressiveclergy #pastorpauldrees #Lutheran #ELCA
I went to Catholic school as a Protestant and they never let me have the cracker and grape juice 😞

I once heard someone say "None of the other disciples were able to tell it was Judas who was going to betray from how Jesus loved them all until the end." and that quote has stuck with me

Clarification, is this "anyone baptised" or are you including non baptised people?

I was active in the Scouting community many years ago and had the opportunity to take communion. It was a wonderful experience I cherish. As an agnostic, I am very open to learning about all faiths and respect all those who have a faith regardless of what it is. Communion was, to me, another part of experiencing what other faiths have to offer, and I was grateful for the chance to participate.

I grew up in the Missouri Senate and this is one of the reasons I left the Missouri cent of the Lutheran Church when I was 16.

Question to an expert: fact is that Jesus was from the Middle East, thus of brown complexion. So isn't any depiction of him a false idol on par with the golden calf the Israelites worshipped?
