It's been a while since I attended church regularly but I recently attended a service which invited baptised Christians to take the Eucharist. In my youth we had to graduate from confirmation classes before being allowed to take communion. When did this all change and what are your thoughts on the matter?
Don't know when it changed... it's been that way since I've been aware of it. My father is a Father, but I've never been confirmed...
Not much use for it now... ritual cannibalization.
SP....perhaps it is a North American variation
on the C of E service but we had to be confirmed to take part in communion or get married in church. Communion in the Anglican church
is, of course, symbolic.
Didn't change in the Catholic Church (but actually no-one asks you - they don't have an Home Security Department ... yet).
