What is the theological meaning of baptism and what significance does it have for the whole of Christian Life? What is the relation between baptism and church, especially in its concrete form? What are the legal regulations that are linked with baptism? What questions arise in view of the current praxis of baptism – regarding its ritual character, the various expectations of parents and the person to be baptised, or in view of the people who want to be baptised even when they have no affiliation with the church? What are the challenges for the congregation regarding baptism of infants, young children and adults? The book is intended as a guide for pastors, catechists, members of the parish council, and volunteers who are concerned with the legal implications and the organisation of a concrete baptismal praxis. But the texts are also intended for all who are already baptized or want to be baptized as an invitation to reflect on the meaning of baptism for life.
