NEW YORK – The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America issued detailed guidelines regarding the reopening of the naves in the Direct Archdiocesan District in which it gives the choice of the use of individual spoons for Holy Communion, as a temporary easement to the faithful. It is reminded here that The National Herald in an Analysis in its Greek Edition last week (it is published in this edition also) suggested four possible ways of administering Holy Communion. The individual metallic spoons were one of them.
In a letter to the New York Clergy the chancellor of the Archdiocese Fr. Andreas Vithoulkas instructed the following:
13. “As a temporary measure only, Holy Communion will be offered via the following procedures designed to protect our clergy and our faithful:
14. After having received Holy Communion, faithful should exit the building and return directly to their vehicle without congregating or lingering.”
