Why I will be a lector but never a Eucharistic minister. The former was an office in the ancient church, but I know that it is not one today. Still, I think that in any Church where there is a deacon, he should read all the scriptures and distribute communion, he and no others.

"Why I will be a lector but never a Eucharistic minister."

Not unless you become a priest can you be a Eucharistic minister. You could become an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion though.

I feel like I'm being ripped off a little if I get it from a lay person. I understand I'm really not, and in case of necessity I'm ok with it. But for inclusiveness sake? Fugghedaboutit.
