I love that my denomination (ELCA-Lutheran) has open communion (bread and wine). We open God’s table to all who are baptized no matter how they identify or stack up on the religious pecking order. This is why I’ve always been a little put off when reading how Luther withheld the eucharist from certain people. I always saw it like he was falling back into the elitism that he was protesting.
