Our Baptismal Covenant calls us to respect the dignity of every human being. In this video, a lesbian couple describe the baptism of their two children and a fellow parishioner describes how this transformed her in a very profound way.
The Episcopal baptism service is a wondrous thing. The whole congregation present is asked, "Will you seek and serve Christ in every person, loving your neighbor as yourself?" And those in the congregation who are willing, answer, "We will!" These and the other commitments are deep and challenging, and lay the ground for how the person(s) baptised will be brought up, and live as members of the body of Christ.
