About this title

Synopsis

This title includes a series of brand new services designed to be used with adults who have recently found faith - perhaps through Christian nurture courses like Alpha or Emmaus. These services begin with Thanksgiving for the Gift of a Child and the Welcome of those Preparing for the Baptism of Children, and then goes on to provide liturgical material to mark five key stages in the catechumenate (teaching) process leading to the baptism of those old enough to answer for themselves. This material is designed to enable nurturing communities to support and encourage those young people and adults who are formally exploring the Christian faith and preparing for baptism.
