Children are excluded from participation in the Eucharist because the act of being baptised passes children's comprehension. It is argued that the baptism of a person has to be appropriated for the person to be able to meaningfully participate in the Lord's supper. Confession of faith in public is such an act of appropriation.AfrikaansFaculty of Theology, University of PretoriaEucharistBaptismLord's Supper -- Child participationArticle
