	This is probably of interest mostly to Christians, but there wasn't
a net.religion.christian last time I looked.

	As a Catholic, I am accustomed to the use of wine in the Consecration.
Reading newspapers lately I have learned that other denominations use
unfermented grape juice.  I'd like to know more about the differing practices
surrounding the Eucharist in various denominations.  Also, I'd like to know
more about the other differences.  For example, in which denominations do the
clergy wear vestments for services?  Do any of the denominations that have
the Eucharist (besides Catholicism) restrict the distribution of the Precious
Blood?

	I realize that the thing to do is to go, to watch, and to ask, but I
am lazy (isn't sloth one of the Seven Deadly Sins?) and I am not sure that
I could cover all the necessary ground or interpredt everything correctly.

	I will be reading this group, so if you feel it is worthwhile, go ahead
and post ... and I will summarize (and condense) any replies that I get.
