Ready to Share One Bread is a one-stop guide for churches considering the admission of children to Holy Communion.The Church of England has allowed the admission of baptised children to Holy Communion before confirmation since 1997 but currently only about 20% of parishes currently do so. There is therefore much scope for many more churches to explore the issue.Nick Harding and Sandra Millar provide you with all a church would need to consider and help along the way to making it happen.Ready to Share One Bread includes resources for exploring the issue with a whole congregation, case studies from real-life churches, a preparation course, an admission liturgy and advice on including and involving children in Eucharistic worship. The book also includes theological reflection on children and the Eucharist from Michael Perham and considers the impact of receiving Holy Communion on children's discipleship.
