Christian initiation takes varying forms in different denominations and for many non-churchgoing new parents, a christening or some other kind of ceremony is important at this landmark time in their lives. Equally, many adults seek baptism in the Church of England and the ancient practice of baptism with confirmation at the Easter Vigil is enjoying a revival.

This volume –the third and final volume in the Creative Pastoral Liturgy series - offers imaginative ideas and liturgies for all these occasions and more. It suggests effective ways of engaging with families who otherwise may have no connection with the church and for involving the whole congregation in welcoming new members in baptism and confirmation – which is a key part of the theology of baptism after all.

As with the companion volumes on marriage and funerals, this invaluable resource ensures that the standard initiation liturgies are celebrated in such ways that pastoral support and care is made clearly visible.
