Come to the Table: A Young Person's Guide to Holy Eucharist in the Episcopal Church

An overview of Holy Eucharist in the Episcopal Church, for youth 12 and older. Written by an Episcopalian father, originally for his children, it discusses the nature of the Eucharist and how it is celebrated using the Book of Common Prayer. It describes the traditional understanding of the sacrament in the Episcopal Church, but acknowledges the wider variety of beliefs and practices within both the Episcopal Church and other Christian churches. Its approach is suitable for use in church school, in communion and confirmation classes, and by parents seeking to help their children understand the importance of the sacrament, and its relevance to their lives.Whitaker, Alexander is the author of 'Come to the Table: A Young Person's Guide to Holy Eucharist in the Episcopal Church', published 2005 under ISBN 9781411649996 and ISBN 1411649990.
