baptism (rituals, beliefs, creation, church, Holy Spirit)

[Buttons*]

Nothing has meaning unless you put meaning behind it. If baptism has a great meaning or a write of passage, then I say do it! If you know that the minute the holy water hits you, you will feel cleansed or more in tune with God, why not? Just make sure that whatever you do, you do it with your whole heart.

In the Quaker tradition, baptism is seen as a spiritual thing, and the external rite is superfluous -- even to Quakers who see themselves as Christians -- so I liked your first response that there is no need for the rite of baptism. I wouldn't want to try to impose a Quaker understanding of the subject on someone who's following a different path, but it was nice to see a similar perspective coming from another Wiccan.

Quakerism is one of the few Christian denominations I have studied in some depth so no doubt more than a bit as rubbed off on to me . If I weren't non-denominational, I would probably be a Quaker lol .

There may be around this one I suppose. If you feel like you wish some form of initiation into your religion, as a CW, then you are more likely to find a coven that will either be CW (very rare) or at least willing to provide for you even if they aren't CW themselves than trying to find a Church. You might like to try and put the baptism ritual into the year and a day initiation process somehow.
