"Don't bring that woman with you again!"

For three years I have been taking communion to old people's homes in the parish.  But now I've had phone call telling me "not to bring that woman again."   So who is she and why might there be a problem?   I've been taking communion to people in homes for 20 years and have often taken somebody with me from church to help.  The most compassionate of all, the one who shows the greatest desire to get alongside the elderly, is this roma woman who is now being excluded.   I've taken her along with me in this ministry a few times having first noticed how beautifully she related to my late mother when she was still living in a care home.  So why on earth is she being banned now?   Readers will form their own conclusions.  Watch this space!
