Baptism is joining the Christian family. It is how one becomes a member of the worldwide Church, the Body of Christ. Baptism is a simple ritual, and usually happens as part of the Eucharist on Sunday. Everyone is invited to be baptised. Baptism is preceded by finding out more about the Christian faith.

Babies, children, and adults can all be baptised in the Scottish Episcopal Church. God’s love is for all and is not dependent on intellectual ability or knowledge.

If you would like to find out more about baptism, either for yourself or for a child, please contact the Rector, Janet Spence rector@holycrossedinburgh.org
