ESSAY ON: Christian Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist

Number of Pages 21

This research paper: This 21 page paper addresses two issues: the sequence in which these sacraments should be administered and the age at which a person should be able to receive them. These two issues have been debated for centuries, more so the issue of age than sequence. There are historical precedents for each of the debaters but there is theological evidence in terms of the proper sequence. The debate about the age at which a person should be able to receive each of the three sacraments is fuzzier and more complex than the issue of sequence. Many believe that a child should have attained the age of reason, about age seven, before receiving confirmation and First Communion. The writer presents the arguments and presents a conclusive opinion with justification that there is no reason not to administer all three in infancy. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
