04.10.2025 17:33 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Hey, sorry. I’m not sure what hair you think I’m splitting. I’m pro both in pastoral situations where consuming large amounts of consecrated alcohol is problematic.* The prayer book allows for neither.
*consecrating the right amount is best practice but hard in big services.
Many pastoral situations where there is an impediment to reverent consumption. Not to speak of the cases of child abuse involving the consumption of sacramental wine.

This is not intended to be "should we be using piscinas?" discourse. People use them. People pour wine on the ground. TEC's own publishing arm endorses this practice. So maybe we should agree to the licitness of the practice at GC?

04.10.2025 15:52 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I really just want us to be able to use a piscina or pour consecrated wine on the ground without going against the BCP. I’m not scrupulous but I’m fewer than 150 days away from vows to conform to the doctrine, discipline and worship of the church!
04.10.2025 15:51 — 👍 7 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0I don’t think “we just ignore that one” or “the bishop said I could ignore that one” are the right approach to rubrics we don’t think work for us.
04.10.2025 15:44 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0Well, it doesn’t establish a pattern for Sunday worship. I’m really more concerned with what we do with consecrated wine. I think our rubrics should probably reflect our practice.

04.10.2025 15:24 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I'm very much in favor of ways to reverently return consecrated elements, especially with pastoral considerations around alcohol consumption. It seems there should he something done at GC to explicitly allow for this.
04.10.2025 15:16 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Liturgy/GC nerds: The BCP rubrics in additional instructions don’t allow for reserve sacrament other than for deacon’s mass/communing the sick, nor the use of a piscina or pouring out for consecrated wine.
Did we pass anything at GC since 1979 to allow for these practices? 📕
