Swine Flu and Holy Communion

During the current swine flu pandemic, we are following the national guidelines which advise that we should not share the common communion cup. Consequently, only the consecrated bread will be distributed at services of Holy Communion. We are also refraining from physical contact, such as shaking hands, at the sharing of the peace.

The Church of England has always maintained that, in an emergency, communion may be received 'in one kind' only, and that this in no way compromises the grace of God present in the sacrament.

We will, of course, continue to review the situation regularly in the light of national advice.
