She went up in line to receive and the lady there refused to give her communion. She wound up having to go to a different line where she received the host. Something was said to the pastor but I don't know if the EM was removed from duty. When I was an EM I figured it was not my duty to decide who was worthy of communion or not and gave to anyone who approached. I figure any decisions about that are way above my paygrade, as it were.
