| Summary: | In some churches today everyone is invited to the Holy Communion yet in other churches just a few select take a seat at the Table. Through a social-scientific and ritual-theoretic analysis of 1 Corinthians 11, this article first demonstrates that the social hierarchies present in the Corinthian church determine the character of participation in the Corinthian Communion practice. Interrogated through queer theory, this article then argues that Paul challenges these standards by introducing Holy Communion as a transformative place dissolving social hierarchies. Finally, I posit that this queer understanding might call for a reassessment of the invitation and purpose of Communion practices of churches today. |
