Don't make fun of how we worship

To the editor:In a recent column published in your newspaper, Peggy Noonan said, "[Ronald Reagan] was so unused to the normal ways of Christian service that, Mike Deaver once told me, he once happily dipped the bread in the wine as communion was passed."

This practice is called "intinction" and is allowed, in one form or another, by the Catholic, Anglican, Orthodox, Methodist, Baptist and Congregational churches.

In other words, intinction is allowed by the great majority of Christians in the world.

The lesson to be learned is this: You shouldn't make fun of how people worship or what they believe unless you know what you are talking about.
