Message-ID: Date: 7 Feb 90 05:52:08 GMT Sender: hedrick@athos.rutgers.edu Organization: New York University Lines: 8 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu The Bible in the New Testament makes references to not being drunk with wine (See Galatians 5 and Ephesians 5) As a recovering alcohlic, being able to take communion requires that grape juice is used to symbolize the blood of Christ rather than wine. I went to a different church yesterday and took communion and i was concerned with what the church used for communion. Thank God that in fact is was grape juice and not wine.
