Baptism


Picture

The Catechism in The Book of Common Prayer explains, “Holy Baptism is the sacrament by which God adopts us as children and makes us members of Christ’s Body, the Church, and inheritors of the kingdom of God” (BCP 858). The Prayer Book also says, “Holy Baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ’s Body the Church. The bond which God establishes in Baptism is indissoluble” (BCP 298).

  • Grandchildren of active members.
