[EV News] February 9, 2006--The Synod approved this morning new regulations concerning the admission of Children to Holy Communion. The most controversial part of these regulations is that they require that once a child has been admitted in one church they should be admitted in all churches. Thus without ever really approving and addressing the theological issues involved the Synod has in effect imposed a new policy on all parishes.At final approval only about 30 people voted against.A following motion was put which would have strengthened the regulations by requiring that children show evidence of genuine faith before they be admitted to Communion. The Synod voted to move to next business, by 143 votes to 96, without debate.
