Summary:
Baptism and Confirmation - the Christian rites of initiation - have
to do with identity, community, and eternal life. They're not just
ceremonies marking church membership - the meaning of these
sacraments is far more radical than that. They're ways of saying that
we know who we are: We're made in God's image and called to belong to
God forever. This guide will help readers - newcomers, seekers,
parents preparing to present their children for Baptism, confirmands,
and even long-time parishioners - to understand and appreciate the
Baptism and Confirmation, and the central role they play in the lives
of Christians. Provided here is an introduction to the Baptismal
Covenant, as well as a step-by-step guide through the rites of both
sacraments. Readers will find running commentary on the rite, with
facing pages containing the text from the Book of Common Prayer.
Other useful features are glossaries and lists of resources for
further reading.
