"The congregation seemed incredibly diverse – in age, ethnicity, social class, sexual orientation and gender – but everyone seemed to belong, and this was especially evident when we gathered around the altar in a huge circle for the Eucharistic Prayer and Communion" (Recent comment from a visitor)

'Those who seek nothing, neither honour nor profit, nor inwardness, nor holiness, nor reward, nor heaven, but who have renounced all this, including what is their own – in such [people] God is glorified'. Eckhart von Hochheim (Meister Eckhart, c1260-1328)
'The great challenge today is to convert the sacred bread into real bread, the liturgical peace into political peace, the worship of the Creator into reverence for the Creation, the Christian praying community into an authentic human fellowship. It is risky to celebrate the Eucharist. We may have to leave it unfinished, having gone first to give back to the poor what belongs to them.' Raimundo Panikkar.
