[Magdalen] Bishop Cook: Another unfortunate piece of the story

[Ann Markle]

We had alcohol on a regular basis.  Depending on who hosted the monthly
parish dinner, a box or several bottles of wine might be out beforehand.
Certainly at Oktoberfest, there was beer.  At the Easter Vigil we had
champagne in the chalice, and a champagne reception afterward (with
leftover champagne on Easter morning after service, but regular red wine in
the chalice).  It just wasn't a big deal, one way or the other, whether we
had it, or not.
