In my church background any individual believer can bless the bread and wine, in fact, at many of the communion services I have participated in each believer consecrates his or her own elements. I'll have to formulate a Donatist doctrine to resolve this question. Can the father be considered the priest of the household for the purpose of this most holy communion? Since he will already be performing some other priestly duties in simply distributing the elements and reading the Scripture. And what about a widow, would she be permited as well? I think yes on both counts, but this isn't set in stone yet. > > I hear tell that families become so attached to > > the > > wording of a particular Gospel account that it > > can > > become an issue in marriage negotiations. . . > > Fascinating, indeed!
