Kennedy Takes
Holy Communion
At Baptist Church
WASHINGTON, D.C.
(RNS)-Sen. Robert F. Kennedy
(D.-N.Y.), a Roman Catholic,
explained to newsmen here his
reception of Holy Communion at
a Baptist church recently.
He said that he had received a
cup of grape juice and a biscuit at
New Bethel Baptist church here
as a “gesture of fellowship,” and
not as sacramental Communion.
Kennedy received
Communion in the Baptist
church on April 7 after a tour of
Negro ghettos where violence had
occurred.
His explanation of the gesture
was made through Frank
Mankiewicz, ’ a press- assistant,
after reporters asked why the
senator had received Baptist
Communion.
In May 19.67, the Vatican
Secretariat for Christian Unity
issued a document specifying that
Catholics “may be allowed to
attend occasionally the liturgical
services of other brethren if they
have reasonable ground...
GEORGIA BULLETIN. THURSDAY. APRIL 18, 1968
“This participation, from
which reception of the Eucharist
is always excluded, should lead
the participants to esteem the
spiritual riches we have in
common and at the same time to
make them aware of the gravity
of our separation.”
Commenting on the Kennedy
incident, an ecumenist here said
that the “whole question of
inter-communion involves a
complex of theological questions
which are the subject of on-going
bilateral consultations between
the Catholic Church and a
number of other Churches at the
national level, and also the
subject of discussion at the
international level.”
