Me: Get the one (D3) which includes Vit. K !
Very few people even blink when I say “Shoot me an elbow.”
Yeah, from at least one of the 500 people HE shook hands with.
Don’t have time to read the thread, but maybe it would be a good idea to test all priests. They could be targets of infection by terrorists.
Maybe it was when they were leaving church?
Up until now, that included shaking hands.
Here's part of the latest communication from the Diocese:
The virus continues to spread. In the face of this reality, I encourage us all to center ourselves in Christ's call to be people of light and compassion, and to face fear with hope and loving-kindness. Science is a gift from God, and provides us some markers for how to move forward. Among the most important recommendations from Governor Beshear's office:* Staying at home as much as possible.In terms of gathering for worship and particularly the Holy Eucharist, know that I trust ordained and lay leaders to decide how best to address concerns in your congregations, such as how the Peace might be shared.
* Ensuring adequate supplies of medication, food, and other needs if staying home for prolonged periods of time.
* When going out in public, keeping away from others who are sick, limiting close contact (6 feet away) and washing hands often.
* Avoiding crowds.At this time, the common cup may continue to be offered, and each communicant should decide whether to receive.
As federal, commonwealth and county health departments share the latest facts about this unfolding epidemic, as needed, we will adapt our current practices in ways that balance public health and our common worship.
Even if you call that "during Communion," which I don't, it's ridiculous to think the priest has time to shake 500 hands between then and the Agnus Dei.
It’s an Episcopal church. “Christ Church” doesn’t sound like the name that a Catholic parish would have.
I go to Daily Mass......the Priest does NOT SHAKE HANDS AT HOLY COMMUNION!!! What religion are you?
