Preparing for Baptism in the Episcopal Church
Preparing for Baptism in the Episcopal Church
Parents who are not active or do not have
any knowledge of the Episcopal Church often return to a church to have
their child baptized. Many adults who never had a relationship with a
faith community often seek baptism when they join a congregation for the
first time. As our society becomes more secular, those who enter our
churches are neophytes in more ways than in previous generations.
This
is an accessible resource that clergy can give to families who seek to
have an infant or child baptized or to an adult who desires to be
baptized, not having been affiliated with a faith tradition previously.
Many new parents do not have an understanding of the service of Holy
Baptism in the Episcopal Church, what is "required" of them as a parent
or how to prepare their child to receive the sacrament, including what
it implies for the future formation and involvement of their family in
living a Christian life. Contributors include James Turrell (history of
baptism) and Tracey Herzer (choosing and preparing godparents).
