Ep 37 Communion Gluten Free
Let’s start the blog with the Show Notes for this episode:
This week I spoke with Ross Raby of Churchwares Direct. Ross is also affiliated with Gluten Free Host . com Ltd. He explains some of the confusion regarding the use of wheat in gluten free hosts for communion in Roman Catholic Churches. I also discuss the varied approaches to solving these issues in different churches.

My Thoughts –
Talking about religion can be problematic. It’s tricky to reference different actions, beliefs and materials in a particular religion with the correct words and phrases. The culture of religions varies greatly. I hesitated doing this podcast, because, although very familiar with gluten free, and somewhat familiar with different Christian religions, I am not an expert on terminology or doctrine.
I was, and still am afraid that I may have offended someone by not using the correct word or term in reference to religious culture or belief. It’s far too easy to make a mistake on such a personal and important subject.
I apologize if I offended anyone with my words, references or terminology, as this was never my intention. I decided it was worth the risk, and I tried to tread softly. I learned much through my research, and I can only hope you learned something also. Maybe then it was worth the risk.
