RECEIVING HOLY COMMUNION IN THE AGE OF THE "CORONA VIRUS" AND DURING THE FLU SEASON
Description
Again, as often noted in the news, our hands are the likely means of sharing most contagions. Watching multiple fingers dipping into the Chalice (sometimes up to the knuckle) has convinced me that intinction by the congregants themselves is unsanitary. I will continue to drink from the Chalice. If I am ill, I will forgo the cup altogether. Likewise, if I am in a congregation where everyone practices intinction for themselves, I will likely just start taking the bread alone. It is up to the Clergy-in-charge of each congregation to set and publicly state the standard in that church.
