New Ecumenical Guidelines Issued
Boston Catholic leaders issued guidelines permitting Catholics to serve as bridesmaids or best men in Protestant ceremonies and allowing non Catholics to take similar roles in Catholic services. Catholics may attend other Christian services but not receive communion, with exceptions for Greek Orthodox rites and Jews. A non Catholic may serve as a godparent in baptism. Ecumenical marriage will be described as such, not mixed. Education of children in ecumenical marriages should involve both parents. The guidelines, approved by Vatican rules, apply to Boston and may guide other dioceses upon discretion.
