So at my grandfather's funeral, I didn't take Communion. It's not my church so I don't know why this is offensive. The priest was actually somewhat regretful that he couldn't offer Communion to the rest of us but assured us that we would all be eating together at the Lord's Table someday.

In my church, we don't actually check to see who is taking the Lord's Supper (as we call it), but it's generally understood that only "members" of the Church should take it, i.e. those who have been baptized.

Not sure how this is prejudiced. Their Church; their rules.
