Infant Baptism Sample Clauses

Infant Baptism. As can be imagined, this was a major issue in the run up to the foundation of the church. At that time (around 1985-6), our position was most influenced by the thinking of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, both Anglicans who did not align themselves with the indiscriminate baptism of infants, but believed that a Biblical basis can be found for the baptism of a child where at least one parent is a Christian. This became the position of our church. However, we had to have a “fair” way of distinguishing whether at least one parent is a Christian. And so the “rule” is that at least one parent must be a member of the Church in Binley Xxxxx. And the qualifications for membership of the Church in Binley Xxxxx are also expressed in such a way as to remove any discretion except in serious circumstances. Since we are not the Parish Church, we can put this policy into practice because we are not subject to the legal requirement to to perform infant baptisms indiscriminately. As is the way of these things, the Minister receives numbers of requests for infant baptisms from local people who do not satisfy our “rule”. Sometimes families resident in Binley Xxxxx first approach the Parish Church directly, but the policy agreed between us is that they are then always directed to the Minister of the Church in Binley Xxxxx, since we have pastoral responsibility for our area within the parish. So how do we approach this opportunity to engage in a dialogue with someone who has sought out the church in this way? The Minister himself has dealt with these situations, whilst keeping the church informed. He has always offered a service of Thanksgiving within the context of our Sunday morning service, but responded to the question of infant baptism by outlining our church’s position and drawing attention to the positive step the parents could take in deferring their child’s baptism while they find out more about Christianity. Usually the parents’ response is to have both services, going for infant baptism at the Parish Church some time after having a service of Thanksgiving in Binley Xxxxx. Some of those have led to a longer involvement in our church.
