59. tell me which protestant churches have closed communion
Edited on Wed Aug-04-04 10:26 PM by TeacherCreature
I know lots of former catholics who are perfectly happy taking communion in their protestant church. Communion is communion regardless of how you have been taught to think otherwise.

There is a woman I heard of (a friend of my Pastor) who can't ever take communion again in her church because she couldn't afford to PAY for an annulment and is now remarried. Her new husband takes communion because he PAID for his annulment. How exactly is that serving the needs of the flock? Where is the love and grace of God in that cynical money driven rule?

I hope they find another church, maybe mine, where they are both loved and accepted as children of God equal in their worthiness to receive communion.
