Early Puritans viewed communion, or the Lord's Supper, as a significant and sacred act of worship, emphasizing its spiritual and communal aspects. They believed it was not merely a ritual but a means of grace, where believers could deepen their relationship with God and each other. However, they practiced a closed communion, limiting participation to those who were members of the church and had demonstrated evidence of genuine faith. This approach reflected their emphasis on personal piety and moral integrity within the church community.
