Communion in the formal setting is the corporate expression of the individual sacrament.
That strikes me as being the wrong way round. I see the corporate not the individual as primary.
I fail to see the link between Open Table and open (or not) Presidency. Surely they are two separate questions. I still don't understand why a non-baptised person would want to receive communion (and not be baptised). I think that it is right for the Body of Christ to be distinctive and Communion is part of that distinctiveness. That is not exculsionary because anyone can be baptised.
The trouble with letting anyone preside is that again the individual not the body becomes key.
We don't always get what we want immediately.
Mmm, those thoughts are connected to me, but they aren't in the way I've expressed them.

I'd say it begins with God's relationship with the human race. Or maybe even with himself.
