WHAT IS COMMUNION?
Elsewhere, in the Ringmore Village Newsletter, appears the excellent eulogy for George Grimshaw given by
his eldest son, Richard, at his father’s funeral on September 8th. George was a highly respected character, not
just in the village but in the wider Christian Community. This was the first time I had conducted a funeral with
a Priest from the Russian Orthodox Church assisting, and a Church of England Bishop in the congregation. My
own tribute to this excellent man would be briefer for I only knew George for six years, but it would also have
been full of affection and respect. His was the first letter we received as we moved into Church House, and he
welcomed us into the community.
‘Community’ is an interesting word, a contraction of ‘common unity’. We all walk, work, rest and play in a
variety of communities. Gone are the days when rural villages contained people who were born, raised,
schooled, employed, married and buried in the one community. There are different folks in each of the villages
sharing different items of ‘common unity’, from bell ringing to table tennis, from fishing to golf and from
historical society to a particular night and time in the local pub. The Church can be one such community, and it
takes that element of common unity into a different and deeper word –communion.
Communion is joined by another presence, that of God himself. Every time it is celebrated the words that
Jesus said are spoken, “do this in remembrance of me”. We are reminded that this was said to his disciples, all
of them, not just a few. George Grimshaw had a very strong view of what Communion should be: he said a firm
‘No thank you’ to sick bed communion in isolation. He also very much regretted that he had, at times, to make
do with a mid week afternoon celebration with a small handful of believers rather than the whole of the
gathered church. It was a joy to take communion in his home with a proper congregation, all his family and
Carers who were present on the given days.
As a group of Churches we have been offering two monthly mid-week Communions to restricted parts of our
Communities, albeit all have been invited to attend. On the first Wednesday of each month at 2.30 in the
Korniloff is one geared for the Residents who cannot get to Church, and there was another in Ringmore Church
for those who through age or infirmity could not, in Stanley Holloway’s song lyric, get to the Church on time
for the usual Sunday Service. The first is well attended: the second had sadly declined, despite an excellent lift
and refreshment facility provided by Michael & Jackie Tagent. Moves from the village, and translation to a
higher place (we hope) being the main reasons, as a result it has been cancelled in the hope that the Church
community can exhibit caring unity in a better way.
Our Bishop has authorized numerous Lay Ministers who assist with the Communion in each Parish Church.
He was very clear in his letter of permission, and added in bold print after ‘to assist in the Church’ “and to
take communion after the Service to those who are housebound and sick” . By this means everyone can be
visited and by the hand extended become part of the whole communion. If you are unable to get a lift from a
churchgoing friend you might want to ask those in your community who are so authorised (Residents of
Kingston; Robert Beard, Jean Curtis, Francis Jarvis, Hugh Stanley). Any of them could bring you communion
after the Communion Service listed in your Parish in the Magazine or Newsletters. Alternatively there is the St.
Georges. Modbury, Thursday morning Communion at 9.30 a.m. every week except the first in each month, and
I am always prepared to offer home communion, but like George I prefer the community gathered, or going out,
option.
