<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> In Participating in special occasions and in day to day office communications, people often bring in donuts, bagels, birthday cakes and other forbidden goodies on the spur of the moment. I am sure you have all experienced the feeling, not only the loss of delicious food we can no longer partake of, but also the emotional isolation of not being able to join in and share; a feeling that has nothing to do with the food. Today I just returned from Church Services where we break the bread during Communion. Part of this experience is to bring together in unity the entire church body, sharing the bread. When I refuse the bread and receive the wine, there is often quizzical looks from the attendants, but no room to explain at that time. It is at this time I feel isolated. For those of you who are Christian and partake of this sacrament, how do you handle this occasion? Have you any understanding with your particular church that helps to resolve the moment? If anyone has had any solutions or suggestions, I would like to hear about them. Thanks Carol L, N.J.
