In order to foster that sense of a close community, he suggested the priest take the Eucharist to seated people.

"What sort of a banquet does one go to which requires you to stand rather than sit?" Archbishop Apuron asked.

Yes, for the sake of community, let's also turn all the pews inward instead of facing the tabernacle - oh, wait, that's already being done -- oh, DOUBLE WAIT - what tabernacle?

People sit for communion in many Presbyterian churches, and the grape juice and crackers are passed down the pew. It's how it was done in the Presbyterian church when I was growing up. Is this guy so ignorant as to not know that this is a completely Protestant idea? Or is that his motivation?
