Whereas, it has been our practice for two centuries to use what the ritual in
our hymnals has referred to as "the pure unfermented juice of the grape" for
Holy communion; and
Whereas, this terminology was inadvertently omitted when the present hymnal was
adopted,
Therefore, be it resolved by the 2000 General Conference that at the next
printing of the hymnal, the following words, "the unfermented juice of the
grape shall be used during the service of Holy Communion" be included beneath
the heading of "A Service of Word and Table I," "A Service of word and Table
II," and "A Service of Word and Table III."
