To deny anyone Communion, if they choose to accept it, is FUNDAMENTALLY UN-CHRISTIAN.
Hardly. The Apostle Paul warns against careless partaking of the Eucharist in 1 Cor, Chs. 10 and 11. There is a carelessness about Communion in some Protestant circles (e.g., the United Methodist Church) that is simply breathtaking.
I am a Protestant and would NOT expect to be welcome at Roman Catholic Communion anymore than our elders would welcome the local Catholic Archbishop at our Breaking of the Bread service.
I would like to think that Mrs. Blair ought to convert to Anglicanism for the sake of her family, but that is only my opinion.

Thank you for illustrating my point.
While each "brand" of Christianity has its own rituals, proceedures and customs, there is a common bond.
Mr Blair is a Christian and wants to accept the Eucharist- WWJD? Deny him?
BTW: Why shouldn't Mr. Blair covert for the sake of his wife and child?
