Ordinary plastic is fine for 3 million people.”

But it’s not “fine” for the Body of Christ. He deserves much better.

“But it’s not “fine” for the Body of Christ. He deserves much better.”

You could make the same case for ordinary matzah that He used.

The Holy Scriptures include not a single verse of how to implement communion - other than the form of the traditional Jewish Passover meal. The plastic cups were used to distribute the (non-matzah) wafers. No big deal.

If it offends some, perhaps they are focused on the wrong thing.

I've certainly read worse:

Lawsuit over communion wafer machine:


(CN) A company that makes the "revolutionary Rapid Reload System" for dispensing "wine infused" communion wafers claims an employee swiped trade secrets and took them to a competitor in the communion host-dispensing market. Nu-Life Products wants Nu-Life Church Supplies to destroy or return all the offending items, including those based on its "Quad-Rotator Technology" which allows the dispensers to deliver 400 communion hosts without having to be refilled.

Nu-Life Products also sued its former employee, Douglas A. Henricksen, in Minneapolis Federal Court. It claims Henricksen violated a confidentiality and noncompete contract he signed. The defendants market their gizmo as the "Germ-Free Communion Host Delivery System."

Nu-Life wants the defendants enjoined from selling the disputed items and from contacting its clients, and destruction or delivery of the items. It is represented by Thomas Boyd with Winthrop & Weinstine.

Please quote me the exact Bible scripture that specifies the exact proper procedure for serving Communion. All Jesus refers to is eating the bread and drinking the wine as a representation of his body and blood sacrificed on the cross for us.
