Thanks so much, Harmony (jenn). The first time I ever witnessed a clown communion myself was on my walk to Emmaus. Our Emmaus conference used to provide that as a part of the worship during the weekend retreat (it no longer does, but I think Chrysalis still uses it). It is done with whiteface clowns, one male and one female. The clown outfit is more subdued (no outlandish costumes, it's more reverent). It is done in complete silence (mime) with music cued halfway thru. I believe if you do a google search you may find a clown communion script (but you will find a lot of hatemongers out there who don't feel that clown communion is holy at all, and you will find links to their sites too). It's not for everyone; when I first heard of it, I thought it was a heresy too. But once I saw it for myself, and saw how moving and powerful it was, I did a 180 on my opinion. I don't have a script for it myself (I was taught by my best friend's husband, another clown) or I'd share it with you.
God bless,
Pinky (Robin)
