Come to the Table

In 2008 we published a little book written by Jamie Howison titled Come to the Table: A reflection on the practice of open communion at saint benedict’s table. The paper copies of this book are long sold out, but we’re happy to share it digitally. If you would like to read about why we practice open communion, you can download a PDF edition of Come to the Table.

“The invitation . . . is to be prepared to leave behind all that encumbers us and to come to the communion table; perhaps even to come with all of our doubts, uncertainties and wrestlings; our beliefs and longings to believe; our oftentimes unarticulated hungers; and to experience there a release from that which binds us.” - from Come to the Table
