​​​​​​​When I began my PhD research, I wanted to investigate the history behind the words ‘baptism' and ‘christenings' and what the linguistic differences between churchgoers and non-churchgoers may tell us
The Revd Sarah Lawrence examines the historical development of the language we use to describe baptism and how her findings impact on her ministry now.
The Archbishops' Council Project on the ministry of baptism with children has begun to trial a range of resources in 4 pilot Dioceses, including a brand new website www.churchofenglandchristenings.org.
