The Church of England said it is considering the case of people who cannot have gluten or alcohol and their participation in holy communion (Alamy/PA) -

The Church of England is looking into the options for people who cannot eat gluten or drink alcohol to receive holy communion.

Earlier this year the Church issued a statement to clarify it was not banning gluten-free bread or non-alcoholic communion wine, following a widely-reported question asked ahead of its February General Synod.
