What got my correspondents spitting mad over Dawson' salivating was something about taking communion from the common cup which appeared in the May 7 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Assn. Dr. Jeffrey Harris of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control is quoted as saying, "I am aware of no studies which have associated transmission of any disease with the use of the common communion cup." The doctor did go on to acknowledge that "two recent studies have demonstrated the presence of bacteria on the surface of the silver chalice after it had been used in a communion service." But not to worry, said the doctor. While it is "theoretically possible" to pick up contagious germs from the common cup, it probably doesn't happen. "Not to worry indeed!" wrote my woman correspondent. "If there are germs on the chalice, you can catch them. Drinking from the common like kissing." cup is unsanitary Then she lit into Richard Dawson. Obviously this woman is my mother-in-lausing an assumed name. always objectMy mother-in-laed to my kissing my children. I suppose kissing may spread germs.

What's more, in our family, boys went right on kissing their fathers even after they became adults. So it was pretty daring of me at the age of 12 to ask my father whether it would be all right for us to shake hands instead of kiss. He said sure, that was fine. But my mother told me years later that it broke his heart. As to whether drinking from the common cup is any more dangerous who lived than kissing, my father .to be 86 always drank from the common cup at communion. He probably would have said that "God sterilizes the cup" and ignored the medical opinion. Or he may have felt that the wine sterilizes the cup but doctors dispute this. They say that wine (14.5 percent alcohol in Experiments have showed that grapes and wine can kill viruses Whether at least in the test-tubthey can protect people against transmission of viruses hasn't been determined. Those who oppose the practice of everyone in church drinking from the common cup have come up with all kinds of alternatives from the use of "shot glasses" passed to communicants on a tray (a practice followed in many Protestant churches) to the use of straws and plastic spoons which are made available to people as they approach the altar. e. Ugh! Some congregations use intiction dipping the bread or wafer in the common cup one Sunday and from individual "shot glasses" the other keeping everybody happy. A good rule one which my correspondent would approve of, although I doubt it would satisfy her would be for churchcompletely es to suggest to people that they not take communion from the common cup when they have colds or other communicable diseases. w attitude. And look at the fun she misses. I come from a family where kissing is not confined just to parents and their children. Aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmothers and grandfathers all kissed; each other.
