Abstract

Attitude toward virtual communion was assessed among 3,300 Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Free Church clergy and laity during the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK in 2021. A six-item unidimensional scale (Scale of Attitude Toward Virtual Communion, SATVC) assessed attitude related to receiving communion during online services, the necessity of priests for consecration and lay presidency of communion at home. Church tradition predicted attitude in ways that were in line with historical understandings of the Eucharist and ecclesial debates about the necessity of priests to preside over ritual. Within traditions, other factors operated in different ways, producing a complex web of interactions. Older people were more positive about virtual communion than younger ones, but mainly in Catholic traditions. Clergy were more negative in most traditions except Free Church. Having a generally conservative doctrinal stance drove Catholic and Reformed traditions in opposite directions. Liturgical stance predicted SATVC independently of doctrinal stance, and more traditional stance tended to lead to more uniformity, rather than divergence, between traditions.

英国新冠肺炎大流行期间对虚拟圣餐的态度与教会传统
在2021年英国新冠肺炎大流行期间,对3300名罗马天主教、英国圣公会和自由教会神职人员和俗人对虚拟圣餐的态度进行了评估。一项六项一维量表(对虚拟圣餐的态度量表,SATVC)评估了在线服务期间接受圣餐的相关态度、牧师进行祝圣的必要性以及在家主持圣餐。教会传统预测态度的方式符合历史对圣餐的理解,也符合教会关于牧师主持仪式必要性的辩论。在传统中,其他因素以不同的方式运作,产生了一个复杂的互动网络。老年人比年轻人更积极地接受虚拟圣餐,但主要是在天主教传统中。除自由教会外,神职人员在大多数传统中都更为消极。普遍保守的教义立场将天主教和改革派传统推向了相反的方向。宗教立场独立于教义立场预测SATVC,更传统的立场往往会导致传统之间的一致性,而不是分歧。
