SUMMARY OF NEW GUIDELINES FROM BISHOP SUSAN HAYNES FOR THE OFFERING OF HOLY COMMUNION
Communion should be offered as it was before the pandemic (one bread, one cup) with the following guidelines:
Communion may be offered as individual hosts or as a common loaf. The bread, the Body of Christ, should be administered by the priest or deacon.
The common chalice should be offered to all and administered by a duly trained and licensed Lay Eucharistic Minister. If a communicant wishes his/her host to be intincted, only the LEM may do the intinction. Should the communicant desire this, the communicant should leave the host in his/her hand indicating to the chalice bearer that intinction is desired. the chalice bearer may then pick up the host and intinct it and place it back in the communicant's hand, being careful not to touch the hand. (A copy of the full guidelines will be posted in Rose Hall)
