In the midst of the struggles the Episcopal Church faces today, a new phrase has appeared: "indiscriminate inclusivity". It refers to welcoming people without parameters or expectations.

I recall a seminary class in liturgics, discussing some of the curious things that have happened around communion. One example was a person who received the communion and put it in his/her pocket and walked away. After the class discussed it, the comment was made that in the end, if God could get in the wafer, He could get out.

It sounds to me like indiscriminate love. God's love is indiscriminate. Maybe what is meant to be a charge of laxity is really a living into our mission.
