Pastor Wilson writes a letter to a fictional friend who is looking into the practice of child communion.

My goal in this is not “to prove” anything, or even to defend it against criticism. My intention is much more simple. It is simply to describe what it is like to think about the sacrament the way we do. And if I am successful, I will not have necessarily persuaded you of anything. I will not have converted you to the view that child communion is the way to go—although I would certainly hope for that.

Rather, Lord willing, I will have written of it in such a way that you understand why it matters so much to us. And perhaps I will even have written in such a way as to make even the strictest advocate of credo-communion turn away from this prospect with some regret, thinking “wouldn’t it be wonderful if this were true?”
