- Notes
- "'The case for open communion' by the Rev. Dr. Gary Nicolosi (May 2011, p. 1) and 'Why open communion doesn't work' by the Rev. Canon Dr. John Hill (June 2011, p. 12) are thoughtful articles but not accessible to very many unbaptized Christians. Dr. Hill suggests mentorship to help the unwashed understand why they should be baptized to receive communion. But people have to be part of the conversation first, not educated first. That's perpetuating barriers. It takes courage to compromise long-held beliefs. But our survival requires it". [Text of entire article.]
