| | | Agreed. I've heard my pastor tell stories of awkward moments when people come forth for communion that have never been in the church before. It's sticky because Lutherans practice closed communion, so no one but a confirmed member of the church (and usually the proper synod) can participate. Sometimes the pastor will just make the sign of the crucifix and bless them, or if he's feeling confident, he will ask them if they're visiting from another church, right there, right at the altar. But you never know, some churches have open communion, and anyone can participate... but like you said, if you don't believe... it's pretty hypocritical.
