HOLY TRINITY ANGLICAN CHURCH - BISHOP'S STORTFORD

Mr David Brown ordered from Post the Host and wrote a positive article about his experience on the church web site. Kindly, he sent me a copy.

It included: “ My seven year old son, Gabriel , was very interested and wanted to join in. Gabriel is not confirmed and does not normally receive communion, but considering the highly inclusive nature of this new ministry, I didn’t feel that I should deny him. So we suggled up together with a laptop and watched the “Singing Mass”. After about 8 minutes ++Jonathan tells us “please now receive the consecrated Host”. So we did –it was a lovely moment.” In response Jon Durrant comments about Post the Host. “ Brilliant. Great idea to bring innovation to the Church”
