I attended Anglican church as a child, was baptized a few years ago in a non-denominational church.
My husband is in the process of being confirmed in the Catholic church. I am just not interested in the Catholic church and have been considering attending our local Episcopalian church.
My question is - can I take communion when I go the the Episcopalian church or is it like the Catholic church and I have to prove that I was baptized first?

Wed, February 21, 2007 - 3:24 PMIt depends on the church, but most mainstream Episcopal churches in the US welcome all baptized Christians to the Table, regardless of previous experience or previous affiliation. In my hippy-dippy church (in Anchorage, Alaska), the priest makes a point of inviting ALL people. Some churches say all confirmed Episcopalians. That said, I've never been to a church where they check your credentials at the Communion rail. -

" All are welcome at God's table " ..

Every Episcopalian church I have ever been to, in several different states, has welcomed any baptized christian, of *any* denomination, to take the Eucharist. And furthermore, that was always done sorta on the "honour system" - -that is, no one in my experience ever asked someone to *prove* they had been baptized.
