Children and Communion

Are baptised children admitted to Communion prior to confirmation in the Diocese of Canterbury?

Yes. A growing number of churches within the Diocese have applied for and received the Bishop's permission to admit baptised children to Communion prior to Confirmation.

How can my Church apply for permission to admit baptised children to Communion prior to Confirmation?

• Download and read the information pack
• Raise the issue at your PCC (a minuted formal resolution needs to be passed)
• Contact Ted Hurst, Children's Ministry Adviser to chat through the process and arrange a visit.

Can we talk to churches that are already admitting baptised children to Communion prior to Confirmation?
