Musings from the 'vicar factory'
Here are a couple of anecdotes from a proto-vicar about communion. One time when they were giving out the bread they had a complete mental block. You are supposed to say the "body of christ broken for you" or similar wording. Well on this occasion this person just could not remember the words and with a dramatic flourash presented the bread with the words , THE BREAD! On another occaion they droped the purificator (that is the white hanky you wipe the challace with) into the wine!
Somehow it lessens my fears over carrying out communion one day a bit less, at least some one has blazed the trail before me.
