Tonight, we went to an informational dinner about baptism. If you're thinking of a baby being bapitized while screaming their little head off, having cold water poured onto their forehead, and entering into a faith they don't know exists, this is different. This entails choosing to be baptised when you're an adult into a faith you believe in. The ritual will take place on Easter and Travis will have to emerge his whole body into the holy water. The act symbolizes the believer's death to self (being "buried in water"). He will proclaim himself as a follower of Christ. It's probably an act that many people think of doing, but not many go through with it in public. To see more about our church, go to Pathways Church.
