A booklet from Athanasius Press arguing that baptized children should be admitted to the Lord's Supper. Leithart contends that the church is not a religious organisation but the new humanity in Christ, which matures through the Supper, that the entry requirements for the church's ritual meal have not changed from those for Israel's, and that a child cannot be part of the body the one loaf symbolises without sharing the loaf. The sacraments, he argues, reflect the gospel by which the church is gathered.
