One of my favorite things about being a freelance writer who is interested in a diverse range of topics is that my work allows me to explore subjects that I might not explore on my own. For example, I got to write an article today about communion wafers.
Since I wasn’t raised in a church, I really don’t have a lot of experience with communion wafers. I know the basics and probably wouldn’t have researched more without provocation. But since I was provoked to do so, I got the opportunity to learn some really interesting stuff about how communion wafers are made and who manufactures them.
Like did you know that there is a single company called the Cavanagh Company that manufactures over eighty percent of the communion wafers used in three different types of churches throughout the U.S., Canada and Australia? It’s just a family business in Rhode Island and this is what it’s been doing for over sixty years. That is interesting stuff!
In researching this article, I also got to learn about the history of the rituals that used to be used in making communion wafers. I learned that there are some people who really believe that churches should purchase locally-made communion wafers instead of those manufactured by a business. And I learned what exactly goes into a communion wafer. Really fascinating stuff.
