I tried the Episcopalians. They don't stand for anything.

They stand for good feelings. I like the liturgy, the rhythm of service. The homilies normally leave me leaving the service.

Episcopalians allow anyone who wants it to partake of the Eucharist.

Which means an Islamic imam can take the Eucharist.

A Japanese ancestor worshipper can take the Eucharist.

An Indian Hindu who thinks cows are holy can take the Eucharist.

And God does not care, Blackrook. He (the Creator) is the God of all of us. And, you, as a believer of one way, are no more special in anyway than the rest of us to our Creator.

That idea is a cop out for people who don't want to make the effort.

Are you speaking of an offshoot of the Episcopalian Church? The mainstream Episcopalians do believe in the true presence of Jesus in communion. Therefore, any baptized Christian is welcome to receive communion. Those who are not baptized Christians are welcome to come forward to receive a blessing.

At the church I attended no limitations were set as to who could accept the Eucharist.

I have no idea if they were an offshoot.

Of course not. The Creator loves all of us. The effort is to accept that all are equal before Creation.
