• This argument grounds open communion in the theology of grace, hospitality, and radical inclusion exemplified by Jesus and the early church.
  The Eucharist, at its heart, is a celebration of God’s inclusive grace made manifest in Jesus Christ. The Last Supper was shared with a group that included doubters, deniers, and even betrayers, yet Jesus offered the bread and cup to all present. The apostle Paul teaches that in Christ, the barriers that once separated people, Jew and Greek, slave and free, are abolished (Galatians 3:28). The early Christian table was … Continue reading →
