'''Closed communion''' is the practice in some [[Christian]] [[Church|churches]] of offering [[communion]] (also known as Holy Eucharist or Lord's Supper) only to members of the same [[denomination]] or congregation (though few churches restrict communion to only members of the congregation). The reason for practicing closed communion is generally because of differing beliefs about the meaning and nature of Holy Communion that exist among denominations.
