Title
The Pandemic and American Orthodox Christian Parishes
Description
Only 16% of participating parishes have found ways to continue offering Holy Communion to all their members during the pandemic. The plurality of parishes (48%) serve Communion only to a (very) limited number of members who are permitted to attend services. In the remaining parishes (36%), no parishioners can presently receive the Eucharist. Among those parishes offering Holy Communion to attendees at the onsite worship services, 19% reported that they had “changed the way of offering Holy Communion.” This chapter offers descriptions of how Holy Communion is presently served in these parishes
