Trinidad churches seek communion-wine exemption from drinking-age law
Original: Trinidad churches to seek communion-wine exemption from new drinking-age law
Churches in Trinidad and Tobago are preparing to request an exemption to a new drinking-age law so that communion wine can continue to be offered to minors during services. The move affects denominations including the Anglican Church, which use wine in the Eucharist. The proposal highlights a tension between public-health legislation and long-standing religious practice.
Why now: A new drinking-age law is set to take effect and could criminalise giving communion wine to underage churchgoers, prompting churches to push for a religious carve-out.
