Further to the conversation about excluding non Roman Catholics from receiving at RCC services… When I returned to the (Episcopal) church after many years away, the presider used the Iona Community invitation to communion. It was exactly what I needed to hear. Does your churches use it? Should it be adopted as a standard in the BCP? The invitation (with slight variations): “This is the table, not of the Church, but of God. It is to be made ready for those who love God and who want to love God more. So, come, you who have much faith and you who have little, you who have been here often and you who have not been for a long time, you who have tried to follow and you who have failed. Come, not because I invite you: it is God, and it is God’s will that you who want God should meet God here.”
