While I find the use of Chips Ahoy for communion evidence of ignorance on the part of the stewards, I don't believe that those few are the only ones who display ignorance in certain areas of their faith. Nor do I think their mistake is as bad as some of the other ignorances in other faiths. And some have blatant rebellions.

The pastor should have set the Chips Ahoy Mates straight and in short order.

But what do you do when my denomination plays games with church law to overturn the conviction of a practicing minister who is a self-avowed, practicing lesbian?

What do you do when others ordain bishops who committed abomination with another man, and in the process left their wife for a pseudo-union with that same man?

What do you do when denominations elevate so-called scholars who deny the resurrection?

Chips Ahoy is clearly a mistake....but perhaps it's a mistake of the head and not of the heart.

I was at a wedding recently where the communion was served from a pre-packaged kit, complete with cracker and a sip of grape juice. Fortunately, they ran out before they got to our table.

I told my wife I'd never had "lunchable" communion before.

I could see the point for like large groups or for deployed military. But at this wedding it seemed sacrilegious.

I suspect no one would have though twice if they had used 'Nilla Wafers instead of Chips Ahoy.

It's those little brown chips. That's what everyone was upset about.

A little chocolate chocolateth the whole lump.

BTW where is the recipe book for sacramental bread?
