Why must there be only one door to the church? Maybe communion could be a door to baptism.

oh bro David …..I was heartbroken because half of the HOB WERE AGAINST open communion. I feel closed communion is an afront to the teachings of Jesus and a grieving and stifling of the Holy Spirit.

The Episcopal Church has open communion, all baptized Christians are welcome to communion. What TEC does not have is communion before baptism. And I hope it never does. What Jesus said was to go into the world and to baptism people. Baptism is the door to the church and to communion, not the other way around.

My question is will he be someone who will lead the HOB which includes calling them on their BS the attitude concerning paying the PHOD and the power of same , was just shocking. and the vote conc open eucharist was just heartbreaking.
