Roman Catholics and Protestants do. Foot washing rites are also practised by some Anglican, Lutheran and Methodist churches. Within the United Methodist Church foot washing is most often experienced in connection with Maundy Thursday services and, sometimes, at ordination services where the Bishop may wash the feet of those who are to be ordained. The foot washing service is practiced regularly by members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and by Primitive Baptists.

Foot washing was done by Jesus as an example to His disciples to educate them on the fact that they were to serve one another not to establish a doctrine on washing feet.
Communion is for the purpose of remembering what Christ did on Calvary. It is not the transubstantiation of the Catholic church which is spiritual cannibalism, but Christ said, "Do this in REMEMBRANCE of Me." The bread doesn't become the actual body of Christ and the grape juice or wine never becomes the actual blood of Christ. It is all symbolic of Christ's sacrifice.
What churches do with this information above is strictly up to them or their denomination or what they believe and practice.
I am just sharing what I believe from 33 years of study.

Feet washing and communion are two totally different things.
We do on occasion do feet washing, it is a beautiful thing to participate in.
We have communion the first Sunday of every month.

Actually - I wash every body's feet every Maundy Thursday. That's been the tradition of every church i have ever been a member of, both as lay and clergy alike.

Because if churches had taught the true essence of love - the recognition, honor, acceptance and support of every other human being like themselves - they couldn't have supported their stance as being something 'more educated', 'having more authority', being 'more holy', or being 'more anything'.
It would have been their death sentence.
