Baptism: A Story We All Share
The multiple meanings of baptism can enrich baptism as a source of Christian identity, faith formation, and baptismal living.
As they rediscover baptism’s biblical and historical centrality, congregations today are sensing where they are weak and learning from practices in which others are strong.
Churches that baptize infants see in churches that baptize believers how important it is to grow in faith so you can witness through words as well as actions.
Churches that baptize on the basis of a personal testimony see why baptized people need a community of believers to nurture them in faithful living.
During the summer and fall of 2009 we have invited 34 book groups across Canada and the United States, with over 250 readers total, to meet regularly and discuss The Church of All Ages and its implications for integenerational worship in their context.
Each group is submitting blog posts with notes from their discussions in order to share their learning.
