To receive Holy Communion in the Episcopal Church, you must be a baptized Christian. That baptism does not have to be in this denomination, and you do not need to be an Episcopalian to receive. When receiving Holy Communion, there are two options: 

1. You can receive in one kind - this would mean to receive the host only and not the chalice. 
   
   
2. You can receive a host and then receive from the chalice as well. Hold your hands out for this option to get the host.
   

   Intinction  -  the practice of dipping the host in the wine - requires a separate chalice, and for the time being this is not an option.

   It is always possible to cross your arms for a blessing and not receive either form of the Sacrament.
