== Quotes ==
* "I agree with the many who have commented that the Table is not designed for the pure, the righteous, or the perfect, but for the impure, for the unrighteous, and for the imperfect. I see no difference: if anyone is seeking God's grace and God's blessing through Jesus Christ, they should be welcomed to the Table of the Lord. The Table is for cracked Eikons, and only for cracked Eikons. The one thing clear from Jesus' table fellowship is that his opponents wanted purity before fellowship, and Jesus created purity out of fellowship with him." http://www.jesuscreed.org/?p=767
