Worst Wedding You've Ever Attended

If you held your hands in the prayer position, the priest said "The body and blood of Christ", you answered "Amen" and opened your mouth, and the priest dipped the wafer in wine and placed it on your tongue. I had never seen this practice before, and after Mass I got an explanation out of my father.

So now that we've completely derailed this thread... LOL

My church does Intinction. I like it that way.

This Communion talk is very interesting to me! I wasn't baptized and I've only been to a church for weddings or funerals. Obviously, Christianity isn't very important to my parents (take my black card away!); as a result they had no beef with my converting to Judaism (which is on hold now).

Given the history of Christianity in the African Diaspora; the history of Judaism in the African Diaspora; and my Black Jew nuclear family dynamics, you get to keep your Black Card.

Jesus-be-a-fence regardless of whether some believe he is the Son of God or simply a good man.
