Paedocommunion

I highly recommend the latest issue of Credenda Agenda. For some time now the church has been excluding children from the communion table. In Galatians 2 we read about the time Paul had to rebuke Peter for dividing the table between two kinds of Christians (in that case, Jewish Christians vs. Gentile Christians), yet every Sunday thousands of Christians do the same when they exclude their children from the sacraments. All baptised children are part of the covenant, having been united with Christ through their baptism (Col. 2:11-12) and sanctified by the faith of their parents (1 Cor. 7:14). Excluding them from the covenantal meal because the verdict is still out on them, only teaches them to doubt. For more about paedocommunion click HERE.
