[edit] Infant Communion

Jen Moakler has questioned my objectivity in this matter. Personally, I have no objection to the idea that these points might be made in a manner that is more politically correct, as long as it is clearly expressed...

• A clear definition of what Infant Communion is should be placed into the first sentence of the article. Beyond that, the article seems to focused primarily on Catholic practice. Are there other Christian denominations that also practice Infant Communion? If so, are there any variations or limitations placed on the practice? Also, how does infant communion relate to open or closed communion? --Allen3 ^talk July 8, 2005 00:37 (UTC)

• The writing style is a little whimsical, and sort of seems to romanticise the practice. I suggest rewroiting it in simple language and builing on it form there. --nixie 8 July 2005 10:22 (UTC)

I've made a few changes... --Sophroniscus 22:33, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

• The Protestant section is disproportionately short - and too US-centric. 'Mainline' - as the linked article confesses - is a US term. I could add something on the Church of Scotland - but you need to find out about practice in Anglicanism, Lutherism, etc - outside of the US. Hope that helps. --Doc (?) 18:45, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

I know little to say about the subject. I know of no Denomination that allows such Communion, though I would suspect that most follow the Roman Catholic rejection of the Apostolic practice. But who am I to say? --Sophroniscus 19:20, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

It is clear that Lutherans have, at least, considered the issue under the name Paedo-communion. --Sophroniscus 21:36, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Several things:

1. Interesting article with a coherent flow.
2. There are no specific inline source citations.
3. As Doc says, the article remains too US-centric.
