As an Episcopalian (or Anglican if you will), my first thought was that dogs don't actually need Communion. They are perfect and without sin just as they are. Then I began to reflect on the priest involved. I suspect she had seen Keith and Trapper outside the church before. Intuition may have told her that they needed quiet and privacy for their daily visits. Something good and appropriate was going on because Keith felt free to contact her when he felt hassled by the police. I'd say she was simply offering hospitality, which is her duty both as a priest and as a Christian. In spite of the quibbling parishioner, this sounds like a good parish to me, and I expect the people there will continue to make Keith and Trapper feel welcome in whatever ways seem appropriate. Good for them. Hmm. As an Episcopalian (or Anglican if you will), my first thought was that dogs don’t actually need Communion. They are perfect and without sin just as they are.
