I think this is fascinating. I've never been too comfortable with the idea of kids taking communion - the whole understanding/recognizing the body thing - but I have to say that reading the discussion in the Forum (especially Rylaarsdam's article) pretty well convinced me. What can I say, I'm an easy sell. :) Interestingly enough, though, our pastor just brought this very topic up with me today. Chloe's not on solids yet, but she just might get the-finger-dipped-in-wine sacrament next time around. So far, Chloe's just received a blessing at communion-time - a common thing in a church with an uncommon number of non-Christians. Of course, Chloe was baptized Lutheran, so she's already been spiritually regenerated. :) I’ll second that. I think this is fascinating.

And I love your biological metaphor... A friend of mine made this argument (which she thinks she might have gotten from David Rylaarsdam). You feed your children whether or not they're able to do the dishes... I.e., if you're part of the family, you get to eat. Period. Heidi Erica,
