It seems that the Orthodox understanding is actually very close to the understanding of Calvin ( and me)

I thought so too, when I read your first post. Do you give both bread and wine and do children commune in your church?

Yes..bread and grape juice (Protestant tradition)..Children may commune when they have an understanding and acceptance of the Gospel ( it is not a set age..the parents in most cases make the decision)...I believe it is different in the Orthodox Presbyterian church ...I have flagged OP, I do not know about communion in the Dutch Reform eithor..so I flagged JC
