There are few things more joyous in a congregation than the
presentation of a new baby or small child for baptism. But even
lifelong Christians can lack an understanding of the theology and
terminology surrounding baptism. The Baptism of Your Child answers
common questions new parents and new members with small children
may have about having their children baptized, and it includes
prayers and ideas for helping children grow in their faith.

In Reformed Sacramentality, the late Graham Hughes discusses the
role of physicality in worship. He contends that to counter the
Reformed tradition's vulnerability to a cultural colonization by
secular modernity, Reformed theology needs to amplify its
appreciation for God's omnipresence in creation with a
re-appropriation of the condensed symbols of faith. Hughes's
argument builds on a historical analysis of the Reformed
tradition's rejection of material sacramentality and its ecclesial
and cultural consequences. From a late modern vantage point, Hughes
advocates for a rediscovery of material sacramentality both as a
lever against modern solipsism and as an iconic reminder of God's
radical otherness.
This unique volume collects together baptismal liturgies in use
across five continents to reveal the breadth of theological
understanding and diversity of practice in Anglicanism today.
Liturgies from the Anglican Churches in over forty countries are
translated and presented systematically to facilitate study and
comparison. Christian initiation is more than just a rite. Its
language and symbolism express varying theological understandings
of what it means to belong to the family of God, and also of the
sacraments. These are not settled questions, and this volume makes
a significant contribution to the continuing debates around these
questions within Anglicanism and the wider Church.
