- "Week by week all over the world the Christian community gathers to worship God and share in Communion. Increasingly parishes are wanting to include their committed, baptised children in this regular feeding, and there is widespread recognition that some kind of training is an essential part of this." "It seems sensible to use this as a wonderful opportunity to think seriously about how any of us are deepening our faith, whatever our age, and whether, rather than a one-off course, we should be looking at ensuring that our parishes are providing on-going spiritual nurture for all ages. Baptised children could then come naturally to receive Communion at whatever age was considered suitable, since they would already be part of the on-going parish programme." "Four times each year the lectionary readings are explored in the Eucharist by all age groups, with a special focus on what it means to be a Eucharistic community. This means that over three years the whole community will have covered twelve different areas of faith development. Each section can be easily adapted as required. If preferred, the material could be used on four parish days during the year -- on Saturdays or during the week, or on a parish holiday as the main focus of the teaching programme. May parishes are already familiar with the `Living Stones' programme, so the format is linked with that. There are Pebbles, Rocks and Boulders sections for children and young people, and there is a suggested focus for adults as well." -- Intro., p. 5.

- "Are you concerned about the nurture of children in the Christian faith ? Are you keen to enrich a child's experience of Christian worship ? Do you want to enable a child to participate more fully in the service of Holy Communion ? Are you aware that much enabling and encouraging, facilitating and resourcing is needed if children are going to be involved in worship in a deep and meaningful way ? Do you recognize that simply 'being there' is not enough for most children ? If you can answer 'yes' to any of these questions this book is for you. .... While not forgetting the children for whom worship is a very positive experience, we feel that because huge numbers of children (and the adults who accompany them) find involvement in the service of Holy Communion difficult, there are important questions to ask. This book seeks to raise those questions, and it attempts to build bridges, in a very practical way, between the theological and theoretical ideals which we hold dear concerning the presence of children in our eucharistic services, and the weekly experience of worship encountered by our children and the adults who share the service with them. This practical approach is linked throughout to the new liturgical forms of 'Common Worship'." -- Intro.

- "Genuine concern for the Christian formation of children demands that every planned learning experience, including acts of worship, should make a meaningful contribution to their growth to maturity in Christ within the fellowship of the Church, whilst being consistent with Scriptural truth. This Study identifies questions requiring answers in terms of children's developmental learning and experience, and also in the light of Scriptural teaching as embodied in the Reformed Anglican heritage of the Book of Common Prayer. Although it originated in the context of the debate on this issue which took place within the Anglican Church of Australia between 1981 and 1986, it incorporates a response to relevant sections of the Knaresborough Report, 1985, entitled 'Communion Before Confirmation ?', produced for the Church of England by its General Synod Board of Education Working Party on Christian Initiation and Participation in the Eucharist, under the chairmanship of the Bishop of Knaresborough". -- Intro., p. 3.

- "What I would like to do in this Study us first to look at the practice of [infant communion] in the patristic church, then to look at several medieval and reformation discussions of the question, and finally, to ask what all of this has to say to the pastoral and sacramental life of the church today. In Appendix 1 I have added a note on progress in the Anglican Communion. In addition, because of the English provenance of the Study (though my own is Canada), and because of its relevance in the Church of England today, Colin Buchanan has added as a further appendix a brief survey of the position in that Church." -- Intro. p. 3.
