This helpful volume sets out to clarify the Church of England's
thinking about baptism, confirmation and admission to communion,
and addresses some very practical questions in relation to ministry
in this area. Discussion of the topic is grounded in the New
Testament and the early Church, and is traced through the
development of the Church's theology and practice of initiation
from the mediaeval and Reformation periods up to the present.
Drawing on the Book of Common Prayer (1662), the Thirty-nine
Articles and Common Worship, as well as on Scripture and the
Church's tradition, it sheds light on contemporary practice and
understanding, which can - and do - vary locally. Anglican
approaches to Christian initiation are also explored in relation to
those of other churches.
