For over a millennium, the Christian Church in both East and West provided the Lord's Supper to its children
(paedocommunion). The Western
(Roman) Church, however, gradually moved away from the practice, and largely abandoned it altogether in the
thirteenth century. This move carried over into Protestantism.
Why did the Early Church commune children? What biblical and theological basis could provide a mandate for such a practice which is so foreign to our own way of thinking?
In Feed My Lambs, now in its second printing, Tim Gallant carefully explores the question of "why" and reaches an uncommon conclusion: this practice needs to be reinstated.
