In June 2008, six people gathered at the first Open Table service with a vision to start a regular communion service for the LGBTQIA+ community. On the cover of the early orders of service was the quote from Psalm 84 from which this celebration takes inspiration.
“No good thing will God withold from those who walk with integrity”
Fifteen years later, the Liverpool community hosts around 50 people each month, and more than 30 other communities now meet across England and Wales, hosting hundreds more each month, and reaching thousands online.
We have much to celebrate!
Join us for a celebration and thanksgiving communion service led by the Venerable Irene Cowell, Archdeacon of the Isle of Man, the priest who celebrated the first Open Table communion services in Liverpool in 2008-2010.
