Adam holds the chalice from which John and Charles Wesley first received communion after confirmation in their home church of St. Andrew's, Epworth.

I want to know how you got to hold the chalice?? They would not let us touch it. You must be special. Debbie

Well, of course I am special, but all I can say is that the guy came out and said, "here's the Wesley chalice," took it out of its little velvet bag and set it down on a small table. There's a good chance I wasn't supposed to pick it up, but the opportunity fell in the category of "ask forgiveness instead of permission." On the whole, they gave us amazing access to historical places and artifacts.
