baptise
This commitment is rooted in the Church of England’s Five Marks of Mission: to proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom; to teach, baptise and nurture new believers; to respond to human need by loving service; to transform unjust structures, challenge violence and pursue peace and reconciliation; and to safeguard the integrity of creation.
To teach, baptise and nurture new believers Whilst I am not qualified to baptize, I do have the privilege of teaching regularly, both in my local church and in small groups.
I believe that local matters, and that the parish is the essential unit of the Church of England, because it's where the gospel meets ordinary life - where people who would never darken the door of a church encounter someone who will baptise their baby, bury their mother, and sit with them in hospital.
