“If we genuinely believe that communion is a means of sharing God’s love and grace, there’s no justification for denying that to anyone, ever,” she wrote.

Methodists, like most Protestants, don't think that is what communion is. Lutherans believe something different than most Protestants, but presumably she doesn't have the Lutheran view of communion. So she's basically making things up.

As a Catholic I was lectured by my teetotalling coworkers (nice guys except on this topic) that alcohol in any form is sinful.

I reminded them that Jesus’ first miracle was to transform water into wine at Cana; Mary His mother had said to Him, “Son, they have no wine.”

They replied that it was really grape juice. I mentioned how the head steward, having tasted the miraculous wine, criticized the bridegroom for saving the best wine when the guests were already buzzed.

No, they said, Christ would never create anything sinful. I mentioned that the modern temperance movement only dates back to the 19th century and that even the early Mormons took wine in their rituals.

Like talking to a brick wall. Two of them.
