'''Open communion''' is the practice in some [[Christian]] [[Church|churches]] by which a non-member who presents himself for [[Holy Communion]] will be served. In most cases, it is expected—or explicitly stated—that such persons be baptised members in good standing of another Christian denomination and hold a belief about the meaning of the Lord's Supper that meets the requirements of the church being visited. Some denominations which practice open communion do not restrict communion based on [[Denomination|denominational]] affiliation, baptismal status, age, membership, or belief in Christ but rather leave the decision to receive communion to the individual.
