Baptism as the gateway to the Eucharist: a perspective onchild participation in the Eucharist. This article invesigates the relationship between Baptism and the Eucharist andargues that baptism forms the gateway to meaningfully participating in the Eucharist.

Confession of faith in public is such an act of appropriation.
