[OrthodoxPresbyterian]

(I went to an Antiochian Orthodox service and after they served Communion, the priest offered Holy Bread to us non Orthodox folks)? I am a bit confused at the moment.

I'm reasonably certain that was irregular. I've attended Antiochan Orthodox, and participation in the Eucharist was (understandably) reserved to Orthodox Communicants.

Then again, we "fence the Table" in the Presbyterian offering of the Lord's Supper, but any Nicene-Creed Christians in good standing at their Local Church would be permitted to participate -- so conceivably, an Eastern Orthodox could partake. Perhaps some EO parishes follow a similar rule (I really don't know)

It was a post Eucharist bread. I don't know that we have an equivalent. The OPC church I am attending and will be going for membership in (have the Session interview Sunday) does serve the Lord's Supper but since my baptism was invalid (the Mormons don't count), I cannot partake until I am baptized.

I would probably excuse myself from an offer in an Eastern Orthodox church. I simply don't know enough about it and what I do know seems to be incompatible with my beliefs in the matter.

I'd certainly pass on the RC blasphemous Eucharist, but given the pronouncements of Trent, I should not have any fear of it being offered to me. I'll simply wear some kind of 5-Point gear and that would be the last word in that.
