Just because “The Church” says a horse is a camel doesn’t make a horse a camel.
Big Religion continues to marginalize itself.
From the Church of England website on Baptism:
What is baptism?
In baptism, you as parents are: thanking God for his gift of life, making a decision to start your child on the journey of faith and asking for the Church’s support.
For your child, baptism marks the start of a journey of faith, which involves turning away from all that is evil, turning towards Christ and becoming a member of the local and worldwide Christian family.
The Church of England has two authorized Baptism services. One is taken from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and is in 17th century English.
Most baptisms use a service in contemporary English, taken from Common Worship (2000).
