"excepte necessitie otherwise require" : comments [Matthew's Journal]

Wine isn't a terribly good antiseptic, really.

A pupil of mine once explained that the blood of Christ was so holy that it would destroy any pathogens.

Any chance of substituting neat wodka for the duration?

It would have to be GIN :)

Yebbut, as Sue Ellen Ewing pointed out once, wodka doesn't smell! Not that anyone in a communion service (except in one of the temperance type churches) is going to be complaining about anyone boozing in public.

A friend comment that it needed to be 70% alcohol for antiseptic purposes and so suggested Communion Absinthe!

As to the advice, the government advice specifically mentions the chalice (and a Sikh ritual) when referring to not sharing vessels. Interestingly for St James at LSM we were reminded that one receives the fulness of body and blood in both elements and one could receive in one kind if one were worried, but that the cup would be offered. I think everyone took the chalice. On Sunday, only the priest had the cup and we received in one kind. Shaking hands at the peace was left to our disgression and most people went for bowing. Though I did see a couple doing something different.

I do think that probably breathing the same air is the biggest risk factor.
