Dipping it into a common bowl of broth.

I don't know about you.

I am not about to break the sop with anyone...

When I was at the Vineyard, they used unleavened bread (matzo) and grape juice. Each person who "served" communion had a little tray of broken pieces of unleavened bread in one hand and a cup of grape juice in the other. The person being served took a piece of broken matzoh (or some times broke off a piece) and then dipped it into the grape juice. Left over grape juice and matzo were disposed of later.

I remember one man telling me about taking communion in Africa. There was a common cup that everyone drank from. Since he was a guest he was the last person to drink from that cup. He said there were a lot of "floaters" in it and it was hard to get down and keep down.

For a while I was licensed with an organization called The Church of Jesus Christ Pentecostal Faith. Our Presiding Bishop was G.R. Brock. He insisted on fermented wine and one cup from which all drank. I was never in a communion service where they did that.

Where I go to church now they use a small "pellet" of bread and grape juice in those little plastic throw away "communion" cups.
