This study explored the recent practice of open communion in the Episcopal Church by examining the clergy support for and potential effects of this sacramental innovation. The author considered biblical, theological, and missional issues that arise from explicitly inviting all in a congregation to receive communion without regard to Christian baptism or belief. After surveying several studies of open communion, the author questioned clergy in the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego about their support for or opposition to it. The author concluded that while open communion may be an attractive practice, it has unintended harmful consequences.
