Letter to the editor: A stone for the starving

Notes: "[The Rev. Dr.] Gary Nicolosi's essay, 'The case for open communion' (May 2011, p. 1), is another nail in the lid of the coffin of the Anglican Church of Canada. Mr. Nicolosi's arguments in favour of open communion are more than specious; they are an invitation to the uninformed to perjure their consciences. Inviting anyone (and his dog ?) to participate in the Christian eucharist is tantamount to inviting your Jewish, Muslim and vegan friends to dinner and serving them pork without letting them know what they are being offered. Sadly, Mr. Nicolosi's dumbing down of baptism and the eucharist are nothing more than the latest embarrassing examples of the bland leading the bland in the inevitable march to the precipice. We who are starving need bread and Mr. Nicolosi offers us a stone !" [Text of entire article.]
