Rose, Tom and Joan:
When you read something and then extrapolate to several wrong
conclusions I kinda start to wonder. I think, having not as
yet read the actual letter from the President of the UoI,
that the stipulation that is put on the serving will be
observation only, Rose is quite possibly mistaken when she
says: "The presence of third party servers will ensure
compliance with state regulations". Tom may also be mistaken
when he states: however, 'minors' will be provided grape
juice when it states that grape juice will be provided. The
actual statement in the paper is Service of alcohol to be
monitored by Sodexho, not served by Sodexho. There is a big
difference. Im sure the Elders of Christ Church Moscow,
Trinity Reformed Church and Christ Church Spokane will be
the ones doing the serving.
Joan, your statement about: If you want to conduct a
full-alcohol worship service, then why conduct it in a
state-owned building, thus subjecting yourselves to state
law I only have one thing to say please re-read STATUTE 73!
Because yall are only interested in the letter of the law
I found it very informative when I came across this little
story
Florida's wine criminals - The Daytona Beach
News-Journal reports (18 May 2005) that most people are
surprised to discover this, but Florida law says that the
importation of wine by anyone other than a licensed Florida
alcohol distributor is a third-degree felony. A threat to
the public order on a par with attacking somebody with a
deadly weapon. This last session of the Legislature,
lawmakers made it easier to attack somebody with a deadly
weapon, but kept the full criminal penalties for buying
wine over the Internet. Four bills to legalize Internet
wine sales died quietly in committee without a vote.
Even with this very overarching law on the importation of
wine, Florida law still has an exemption which states:
(please note item (5))
564.03 --Wines; sacramental and religious purposes.--
(1) For the purpose of this section the term "wine" is
hereby defined to mean wine, vinous spirits, or vinous liquors.
(2) Any religious order, monastery, church or religious body,
or any minister, pastor, priest, or rabbi thereof, may
purchase wine for religious or sacramental purposes from
any duly licensed wholesaler or retailer within the state,
by obtaining a permit from the division for such purchases
herein provided.
(3) The division shall issue said permit upon sworn application,
stating the name of the applicant, the religious purpose for
which the wine is to be used, the amount to be purchased, and
from whom the purchase is to be made.
(4) The division for good cause may refuse to issue said permit.
(5)Said wine and the sale thereof, when sold as herein provided
and used for religious or sacramental purposes, shall be exempt
from all other restrictions, regulations, and taxation now
provided by the laws of the state for the sale and distribution
of wine.
As for Joans very offensive comment: flip the bird at the
State of Idaho well its just another fine example of her
southern genteel upbringing.
Lemeno, Doug! (Rose, say it real fast
. (let me know))
