>>> Mark Bloss on Bread and Wine
WE> During American prohibition what happened to the Christian custom of
WE> bread and wine? Nothing or was it also prohibited to allow only the
WE> breaking of bread?
MB> Nothing. But Mush was used instead - the "wine" of the New Testament
MB> was _new_ wine - or unfermented Mush, basically, grape-juice.
The custom was changed to fit the circumstances. A simple resolution,
demonstrating an unusual flexibility upon the part of Christians. Tho the
change was small especially considering that Christian helped to instigated
prohibition in the first place. Thank you.
