Speaking of alcohol

What are your thoughts on taking communion wine? I'm Orthodox and there isn't a non-wine option. You drink the wine from the time your baptized (40 days after birth).

I've been taking it w/o a 2nd thought. All the other PG ladies take it too. Just curious what ya'll think.

    I honestly think you're fine;  first, it's not like you're getting sloshed..... and second, do you really think the women in Italy and France give up the vino??

     

    No way.

    on another note, I'm a little more unsure of giving the wine to babies 40 days after birth.... their tiny delicate systems can handle that??

    It's half water half wine and only a spoonful. I think cough medicine has more alcohol in it than that.

    Yeah. You have to imagine there are some Orthodox Doctors out there that might have had something to say about it.

    Lutheran here...and my church does the little cups on the tray and there is always a juice option.  I enjoy taking the juice :-)  but I am sure that tiny amount of wine is fine.

    Just "kiss" the goblet. Isn't a tiny amount of wine on the lips the same as a larger sip. (Just as a tiny piece of the host is the same as a whole host?) I'm speaking from what I learned in Catechism.?
