Methodists mull whether to allow online communion
As online worship becomes more common in some churches, leaders within the United Methodist Church are debating whether the denomination should condone online communion.
About 30 denominational leaders met in early October after Central United Methodist Church in Concord, North Carolina, announced plans to launch an online campus that potentially would offer online communion.
Some nondenominational churches already offer online communion, according to United Methodist News Service, but leaders urged the denomination’s bishops to call for a moratorium on the practice and do further study of online ministries.
