[Magdalen] TECnical question

[Grace Cangialosi]

Is that a change for the whole denomination or just that church, Jon? I went to a local  MSL church about 30 years ago, and they had a note in the bulletin welcoming anyone to communion. I thought nothing of it, but a friend later told me it might have been because they were close to the university campus, but the denomination as a whole did not have open communion.

Here in (West) Missouri, before I retired, I'd stop and pick up one of the
older women of Old Trinity, who couldn't always get a ride to church.  She
told me she'd often go to the local Missouri Synod Lutheran church with her
granddaughter, and that they no longer had closed communion!  We were both
surprised about this.  Times change, times change; indeed, times change.

Grace & peace,
