Question

During the video, it said, "You are not expected to take the sacrament. Just pass it along."

What are the general rules about investigators taking the sacrament? I've always been told that investogators are welcome to take the sacrament, but they don't have to (just like children before they're baptized can take the sacrament as well).

Just curious about what all of you have heard.

My understanding is thus, and what I explained to investigators, it may or may not be correct:

They are free to take the sacrament, the Bishop isn't going to jump off the stand and wrest the bread or water away from your mouth, but as it is a renewal of a covenant (baptismal) they have not made there isn't really a point for them to do so.

Thanks Dravin. That makes sense. We let children take the sacrament before they're baptized, so I figured it was safe for investigators as well.
