“Theologians should concentrate less on social arrangements and more on fostering the kind of social agents capable of envisioning and creating just, truthful, and peaceful societies, and on shaping a cultural climate in which such agents will thrive”

Author of the book "Eating with Jesus: Reflections on Divine Encounters at the Open Eucharistic Table"

There should be no fences or barriers around the table of Christ. They should be removed so that everyone is welcome at Christ’s table where followers of Jesus might be nourished for missional service in the world while "strangers" might experience God's love and grace at the same table. Rev. Cornwall will lead us into reasons and ways to envision how a truly open eucharistic table might serve as a crossroads where divine encounters with Jesus can occur making available God's grace to ALL who gather at the table, wherever they may be on their spiritual journey.
