Catholics and certain religious denominations are widening their denial of membership to certain people. It seems so contrary, at least to me, to the picture and posture of Jesus in the gospels," "Jesus's life and ministry were marked by radical hospitality, openness, vulnerability, and humility.
By contrast, Catholics and the Baptist State Convention is requiring their congreatations to magnify the message that certain types of people, as well as their friends and perhaps their fellow believers and family members are neither welcome nor worthy of a place at the table in their communities.
I think we need a new organization of faith that excepts you and asks you only to come as you are, to join an open communions. So, I am contemplating creating a new congregation of the faithful to be named, "International Church of the Unwanted".
