Who Gets to Eat?: Issues of Admission to the Lord's Supper, A Lutheran View($15.00Value)

Description

One of the most significant fruits of the ecumenical and liturgical movements of the second half of the twentieth century is the recovery of a baptismal view of the church, seeing it fundamentally as koinonia, people of God, birthed in the waters of the font. Such a view requires a discipline under which all baptized people are welcome to the family meal, and that includes infants. In a series of lectures and essays Eric Gritsch wrote persuasively about the communion of infants and young children who through baptism have become full members of the church, the people of God, seeing infant communion as a corollary of infant baptism. It is important to have access to the material in this booklet as the church deals with various issues surrounding admission to the Lord's Supper.
