I did the same at a Lutheran church, above the protests that I should just do it. Wasn’t sure what the requirements were.

That was probably a good idea. I’m Lutheran myself and I don’t commune with non-Lutherans.
Not that I believe that they’re any less Christian, but rather that Communion is a celebration of the Christian church unified in truth, and so it’s something that we shouldn’t take a step out of line with, because it’s a very important part of the Christian life.
Yes, it is. Very important, whether “symbolic” or mystically real. More eloquent than words.
It was a beautiful Christmas Eve service, by the way. Music all the way through, lots of devout people, great sermon.
I’m sorry to see this thread devolve into quarreling. If people could see how stupendous and life-transforming the blessing of belief in Jesus is, they would laugh at the differences between the denominations.
