Feed the Kids? Reflections on Children Taking Communion (Part 2 of 2)
In Part One, Peter provided a brief lay of the land on the historical and theological front of child communion.
In Part Two, he discusses what this means for the church and how this might be applied to our families.
In short, child communion is a discernment process with the child, his or her parents, and the church.
Peter proposes that the child needs to display a few features before communing.
The ability to chew.
They can reach out and take the bread and wine.
They show signs of obedience to God, their parents, and other superiors.
They articulate some form of faith.
Join Kyle, Peter, and Pastor Nate as they continue in their discussion of children taking communion.
