During the COVID-19 pandemic perhaps you’ve heard of churches who provide the elements for Holy Communion so that households who are watching the online, streaming services of the congregation have the households consecrate with the pastor and then commune together alone. I was recently asked about this practice and what I thought of it. I cannot recommend it under any circumstance, even COVID 19. In the Narthex you will find a summary of reasons this should not be a practice in any Lutheran church or done by any Lutheran people.
