Some churches use leavened bread for Communion because they believe the appropriate bread for the Lord's Supper is the common bread of the local community. Other churches use unleavened bread in recognition of the Jewish feast of Passover, which was the occasion at which Jesus first instituted the rite of Communion. Each choice is supported by valid but differing theological viewpoints.

Who can take the bread and wine?
The answer depends on the local church as well as the denominational rules. Some churches restrict participation in Communion to adult members. Some permit children of adult members to participate if their parents have given permission (and presumably have instructed them on the meaning of the sacrament). Other churches permit anyone who can say that they are a follower of Jesus to participate, regardless of whether or not that person belongs to any church.
