[Gocamino] Pilgrim Masses

[cumulus2 at paradise.net.nz]

Hi Friends of the Camino, 

This May, I hope to do the Camino with my father and brother. It will be the 
second time for me, and I would be grateful for some information on one 
particular issue before we leave. 

On my first pilgrimage, I attended some church services along the way in the 
evenings and with my limited Spanish could follow a little of what was going 
on. The custom where I am from is not to take communion in these services as I 
am from a Protestant tradition, not RC and it is not permitted. 

On reflection afterwards, I wondered whether along the way, the communion was 
indeed open to all Camino pilgrims and the Spanish Church had a different 
inclusive or universal approach to the issue along the Camino de Santiago. 

For myself, I take communion in my church and I'm happy to have it wherever it 
is offered, but I want to respect other churches' values. 

Thank you in advance for your assistance,
 
Derek
