I WONDER IF MARTIN LUTHER IN HIS REFORMATION OF THE CHURCH AS HE WANTED IT (SIN OF PRIDE, BY THE WAY) ENVISION WHAT OTHER REFORMERS WANTED FOR THEIR CHURCH IN A FEW HUNDRED YEARS, ANOTHER SIN OF PRIDE?

This is perfect for Covid-19, as priests and ministers become super creative and consecrate communion over the internet for communicants at home and they do their own ablutions. Or this could be a safe way to receive Holy Communion in church, simply hold this at the consecration and eat and drink and go home and do the ablutions.   

I found this funny and sad and both at the same time. One of the biggest mega churches in our area (small compared to the largest mega church in our area, the Diocese of Savannah) recently and I mean recently, like two weeks or so ago, returned to in person worship and praise or whatever they call it.

These are their guidelines. Read carefully (I especially like (NOT) their borrowing from Vatican II liturgical degeneration, GRABBING HOLY COMMUNION!:

Adult Services: What to Expect

Service Times

• In order to sanitize our buildings properly in between services, service times will be reduced to 60 minutes, instead of 75 minutes.

Masks

Social Distancing
