The Church of England has ruled that non-alcoholic wine and gluten-free bread cannot be used during Holy Communion.

The guidance states that the bread must be made with wheat flour and the wine must be fermented grape juice to be consecrated.

Rulings detailed in papers released before the Church’s General Synod convenes on Monday acknowledged the “injustice” faced by those unable to consume wheat flour or alcohol.

Holy Communion, a central sacrament in the Christian faith, involves offering bread and wine to the congregation, symbolizing the body and blood of Christ.
