Is it safe for everyone to drink from the same cup?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) March 27th, 2010

On communion day at my church, everyone comes down to the altar and takes a bite of bread and a sip of wine from the same goblet. I will admit that this tradition has been taking place for years, without any significant health problems. but, is the church goblet safe from bacteria and spreading disease? i have never heard of anyone becoming ill, because of this tradition.
