The historical focus traces the history of baptism and theological reflection upon baptism through Christian history from the New Testament to the present day. The ecumenical dimension is explored through consideration of ecumenical discussions surrounding baptismal theory and practice, notably in the World Council of Churches, Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry, and the trends signalled by the Roman Catholic Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults - a derivative movements in other Christian communities. This guide also offers a brief ecumenical proposal aimed at promoting greater convergence on the doctrine of baptism using as a basis baptism in the New Testament and early Christian communities as a means of proclaiming the gospel. The volume concludes with reflections on the more mundane practicalities of baptism including: how much water? Into the Trinity or Christ? Are sponsors necessary?
