All are invited to the table of the Lord, and all are there except for those who knowingly reject it. Jesus never avoided anyone. Those who missed the table were those who could not tolerate the 'unholy' along with themselves who were 'holy.'
Why do we need others also at the Lord's table? We can understand the fullness of Christ only if we are fed with the charism present in others. No one can expect to enjoy the Lord's table all alone.
Christianity has boasted over centuries that it is the whole and only body of Christ. Christianity as a religion is only one of the many members of the body of Christ. In order to understand the whole of Christ, we need to approach him not only as the family of humanity, but as the community of the whole of creation. The prophetic voices in this community are more evident and available to us in our time, thus widening our horizons to know Christ the Logos more fully.
