Christian Churches are studying a new law passed by Parliament that could make the traditional sip of wine taken by children and teenagers during Holy Communion a $50,000 offence, and plans to make representations before Christmas.
Anglican Bishop Right Reverend Claude Berkley said the law directly affects the rite, which has been practised by generations of Christians.
