Yes, I know.  I grew up a Methodist and we drank grape juice, but the rationale there was "we don't want to serve wine to children, and also it's expensive".
You had mass at a Methodist church?

You know that do you?

I try to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I did not know that.  A quick search says it is only occasional in many Methodist churches, though, so maybe that is why I didn't even know they did it.

I'm pretty sure communion's both protestant and Catholic- my parents' old Presbyterian church would do communion every fifth Sunday.
Experience bij!

Yes, communion is common in many protestant denominations, as I well knew;  Lutheran, Presbyterian, Anglican/Episcapalian; pretty much all the "high church" kinds of denominations.  I didn't know it was practiced by Methodists, nor do I still know if practiced by Baptists, Anabaptists, Quakers, Shakers, or Unitarians.

It's practiced in the United Church, which was a merger of the Methodists and Presbyterians.

At my dad's Methodist church they make a point of saying that you don't have to be a member or even a Christian to chow down.

Yeah the Catholics announce if you are not a Catholic do not partake...not that they will do anything if you do but, you know, God knows you are a heretical bastard.

The Methodists do not concern themselves with it on that level.

The Catholics also allow at least some Orthodox denominations to partake, at least according to the program notes the few times I've been in proximity.

I guess Orthodoxy is so rare in Texas they don't bother to mention it.

Protties just pass around a plate of bread or crackers and little cups of wine or juice. They don't go up and get it from the priest. It's the no-priest-between-you-and-God thingie. Every Christian denomination that I know of does communion at least once in a while.

Interesting fact: I have never actually not-gotten communion from a priest before.  Even at my good friends Catholic marriage it was he himself (and his bride) who gave communion.  I think the Priests deputize members of the congregation these days to speed things along.
