Nothingburger.....
.....you all are grasping at straws

I recently attended a church and during Communion they didn’t hand out baskets of bread ( like my church)

Instead they passed tiny Communion glasses of juice.....( where was the bread)
A tiny wafer was found in a separate glass underneath the juice glass....that was their way of doing it

Who knew?
I sure wouldn

I recently attended a church and during Communion they didn't hand out baskets of bread ( like my church)

One of the churches I've attended over the years insists on tearing hunks off of a loaf. Others say every crumb that falls on the floor from a consecrated loaf is an affront to God and will only use individual pressed wafers.

I've been in churches where a tiny plastic cup of grape juice was sealed with aluminum foil and the wafer on top of it, sealed by another layer of aluminum foil. It was a megachurch, and this worked for them. No patens involved. Bit of a mess on like "popcorn boxes on the theater floor" afterwards, but whatever. On the other hand, the sound of everyone in a huge congregation taking a small swig at one time -- swish! -- was rather breathtaking and moving.
