<P><STRONG>Enlighten me please. . . . . since when does the state of Idaho give two tiddlywinks about FLORIDA law?</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>I didn't pay out one cent this year to Florida, Dade County or Orlando for a beer and wine license. . . . I still reside in IDAHO!</STRONG></P>

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