speratus said: Yes, there has been a lively debate in Lutheran circles on this very subject. Some Lutheran ministers do consecrate grape juice for alcoholics and for prisoners in jails that forbid any alcohol and, perhaps, for entire congregations. The theological justification: the ancient practices of killing the natural yeast of the grape by boiling or fumigating with sulfur and storage at cold temperatures. However, I have seen no evidence that these practices were actually in use in Palestine at the time of Christ. Yeah isn't it too bad that the Augsburg confession didn't have a thing to say about it.
