To Be a Christian: The Anglican Catechism in a Year Day 126. What is the outward and visible sign in Baptism? (2025)
Today is day 126 and we are studying The Sacrament of Baptism.
126. What is the outward and visible sign in Baptism?
The outward and visible sign is water, in which candidates are baptized “in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” (Book of Common Prayer 2019; see also Genesis 9:8–17; Matthew 28:19–20; 1 Peter 3:18–22)
We will conclude today with Paragraph One of the Baptismal Prayer found on page 168 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
