open table
Ready for diners
Open table refers to a communion practice where all attendees are welcome to participate in the Eucharist, regardless of denomination or church membership.
Churches with an open table invite anyone present to receive communion, contrasting with closed communion, which restricts participation to members of that denomination or congregation.
Our church practices an open table—everyone is welcome at the Lord's Supper.
