Question
Other than the catholic church are there any other churches who worship/venerate the consecrated hose and blood of the communion wine. Thanks PETE
I am not aware of any denominations/churches that worship/venerate the wafer and wine other than churches that are either part of the Catholic denominations, or independent Catholic churches.
It would be hard for any non-Catholic church to do so since a basic requirement for the belief in transubstantiation is that there be a priest who has the power to change the substance of the wafer and wine. Non-Catholic churches typically reject the belief that men and women must go to a priest as their go between to God, in favour of the New Testament teachings that show no priest over us, but rather teaches the priesthood of all believers,under the one and ONLY high priest, Jesus Christ.

Expertise
I am able to answer a wide range of questions regarding orthodox Christian theology as well as those of many of the more common cults and religious movements (inside and outside of the church). This includes Protestantism, Charismatic movement, New Apostolic Reformation, Strategic Prayer/Spiritual Warfare, Catholicism, Mormonism, Jehovah Witnesses, Calvinism, Reformed Church, Baptist Church, Pentecostalism, and Oneness Pentecostalism. I have been a member of or have attended many of the above. I have studied the beliefs and literature of the remaining through a variety of means, including in most cases interacting with members and/or leaders in these organizations. I also maintain a significant library/resource of information on these movements and organizations.
Experience
I have been a lifelong student of the Bible. In addition, I have been saved through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, and believe in the truth of God's Holy word in the Bible as the inerrant and infallible word of God. I have been a believer for over 43 years. Other qualifications include:
- Former member of the counril of a local church
- Speaker at the "Last Days Bible Conference" and other functions.
- Researcher into religious movements and cults (maintain website with information on some of these movements and cults)
- Member of the Apologetics Coordination Team
I hold to the view that the Bible is inerrant and infallible, and I belief that the Bible is our sole authority on matters of faith and doctrine (Sola Scripture, Sola Fide).
