Hi Anne,

I appreciate your direct and clear response. Many thanks for taking the time to offer this.

I did read your engaged and forthright dialogue with Diana (and Phil) before I posted here. Thank you again for sharing that.

: I am amazed always at how some people want exemptions ....

For myself, I don't seek exemptions. It's my belief that we should turn no person away from our Eucharistic meal. That is not a case for exemptions, that is a desire for an open meal, open fellowship, open Table.

Kindness,

Nick

: anyone, ANYONE, not in a state of grace should never receive....as for being turned away? IF one has made it clear that they regularly practice fornication [heterosexual acting out] or by wearing some symbol that declares one to be a homosexual who may or may not be celibate. The sash doesn't discriminate in that way. Also anytime anyone using the Eucharist to make a political statement or try to confront are, in my opinion, not as interested in receiving our Lord but in calling attention to themselves.
