Children & Communion

Admitting Children to Holy Communion before Confirmation This subject is concerned with children, their role as part of the church, their nurture and place in the worshipping congregation. Specifically, it informs parishes on legislation, best practice, and provides help for a congregation that is exploring whether it will ask for the bishop’s permission for baptised children to be prepared to receive Holy Communion before Confirmation. The Bishop's chaplain, Lindsay Llewellyn MacDuff, coordinates applications by parishes to admit children to Holy Communion before Confirmation. She, along with the other members of the Bishop's advisory group, are available to assist parishes in their applications and also to come and speak to parishes who are considering making an application. The General Synod Regulations and official documents are available below. Pages 1407-1410 are designed to provide the PCC, parents, children’s leaders, and the congregation with user-friendly information and suggested further reading before attending any meetings.
