Lutherans Favor Admitting Children to Communion Early
New York reports a joint commission of the three major American Lutheran branches favors allowing unconfirmed children to receive the Lord's Supper and delaying confirmation to age 15 or 16. The proposal, supported by more agreement than opposition, could influence conventions in 1970 and 1971. The change mirrors broader moves in Protestant and Catholic churches toward maturer confirmation and earlier participation in communion.
