What is Continuing the Reformation : Re-Visioning Baptism in the Episcopal Church about?

This book documents the Episcopal Church's developing focus on baptism within the context of the liturgical movement, the emerging understanding of the eucharist,<br> prayer book revision, and the confirmation dilemma. Drawing on historical and contemporary sources, the author presents a credible case in support of her belief that a baptismal ecclesiology is emerging from these events that have enabled people to accept a radically different initiatory pattern in the church. This book exhibits clarity on the issues discussed with the support of solid scholarship and lucid writing. <p><em>Contents:</em></p> <ol> <li>The Tradtional Anglican Pattern</li> <li>The Emergence of a Eucharistic Ecclesiology</li> <li>The Renewal of Baptism<br> </li> <li>The Dilemma of Confirmation</li> <li>Admission to Communion</li> <li>Turning Points</li> <li>Toward a New Pattern of Christian Initiation: Communion of all the Baptized</li> <li>Redefining Confirmation</li> <li>The 1979 Baptismal Rite<br> </li> <li>Enriching the Prayer Book</li> <li>Baptism and Reaffirmation of Faith</li> </ol> <p>Includes appendices,<br> bibliography, and index.</p>
