You are giving extreme examples. Episcopal service is almost exactly the same as Catholic mass - hence why an episcopal person would not think it was against the rules to take Eucharist in a catholic mass. Now, if an episcopal person went to a Hindu rite, it would be obvious to him that they don't belong and only observe.[/quote]

I assume the poster's DH thought it was appropriate; there's no announcement that tells people to stay away, or that defines who can receive Communion. For instance, my DH (not Christian) would be explicitly excluded by the Episcopalians, but not the Catholics. He would not expect to receive Communion in any church. [/quote]

You have that reversed.  the catholics would exclude your husband.  The episcopalians (probably) would not.  [b]Many Episcopal churches have open communion, but some limit it to baptized christians.  In the Catholic church, you must be a Catholic in a state of grace to approach the altar rail.[/quote][/b]

Exactly.  I think most educated people know this, so I don't understand why the Episcopalian DH thinks it is OK to take communion in a Catholic Church.  I'm not Catholic but I know the rules and would never dare to go up for communion at a Catholic Mass.[/quote]
