Communion During Coronavirus
Item
Title
Communion During Coronavirus
Description
The Board of Bishops deems Online Communion as inconsistent with our doctrine and therefore, it is not to be done by our African Methodist Episcopal Zion Churches. We do not mail pre-packaged, consecrated elements, consecrating the elements via computer screen is not a part of our accepted practice, and Christianity is inherently incarnational and the sacraments are tangible, not virtual. It is our position that consistent with the words of our Lord; “…as often as you do this…” that pastors should wait until the congregation once again gathers together to celebrate The Lord’s Supper. This is a holy and blessed sacrament which must not be lessened for the sake of expediency.
