Communion, when COVID-adapted
Explicit reference to religious freedom in the constitutional sense

Text of excerpt, if available

This is an extraordinary time and, as Bishop, I encourage communicants to just receive the bread – not a ruling or a policy, but out of common sense. This teaching might need to be repeated for some weeks – even months – to come. I also want to remind everyone that at times “spiritual Communion” (not consuming the Sacrament, but present and aware of the Grace of God present) can suffice.
