From midnight (or bedtime - whichever comes first). Or for rare evening Liturgies - from noon or so. Obviously, exceptions are made for children or for people with health concerns - it's between the person and his priest.

oh no that is not it, the Catholic Church allows members of some churches to recieve communion if they can not get to their church, I know this courtesy is extended to the orthodox and I think anglicans, I am not sure what churches are allowed by the Catholic Church to do this, and only when they can not make it to their own church
Mary
that is a good understanding, catholics also fast before reciving the eucharist, how long is it custamary for members of the EO to fast?
I heard that the some Baptists consider it a mystery, and some consider it to only be a symbol
How early/late in the morning is your mass?From midnight (or bedtime - whichever comes first). Or for rare evening Liturgies - from noon or so. Obviously, exceptions are made for children or for people with health concerns - it's between the person and his priest.

so how do you view the eucharist
I would suggest that it is the Lord who consecrates the elements, regardless of the man or woman holding up the cup. I would not object to a non-pastor consecrating the elements at time of need, since that role is one that itself is defined by vocation or necessity, not the decree of a candidacy committee. However, the roles of teaching and the distribution of communion are strongly linked in my mind, so I would tend to stand with tradition is this regard, when possible.this is my body
this is my blood
Don't exactly understand all the ins & outs, but probably take a view somewhat like the Eastern Orthodox or Lutherans I guess...one opinion that would be a bit unconventional is that I consecrate the elements myself~thinking I don't need a priest to do it, since we are called a royal priesthood...
Do you mean that you don't believe that the communion meal is sacred at all?In our church no-one consecrates anything - we just share the bread and wine. A few members help to distribute it, and whoever id leading the meeting explains for the sake ofvisitors, and usually leads in prayer. We are non-liturgical - so this is rarely the same two weeks running.
How early/late in the morning is your mass?
I know I can fast from midnight to, say, 2 PM (tops), but there's no way I can fast from noon to evening, that would be too hard!
That sounds really nice.Liturgy at our parish begins at 9:30 and is over about 11:30, then we have a pot-luck meal together in the fellowship hall.

WHat I love about my church is that baptism is the only requirement for communion. Therefore, my children took communion as infants at their baptism -- a drop of wine from the priest's finger.
