Candidate for Priesthood, Episcopal Diocese of New York. Studying at a trade school on the Potomac. Cultus Dei Sapientia Hominis.
Just wrapped up a paper (which I wish I could make into a thesis) on The Episcopal Church dropping the requirement for confirmation to receive communion.
My research made me sad that we didn't adopt the recommendations for Prayer Book Studies 18 to unify baptism, laying of hands & eucharist. 📕

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?

Liturgy/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? 📕
