Baptism is a new beginning, a new way of life.
With Baptism, a person promises to a life of service, prayer, and servanthood. It is a life of working for justice, peace, and reconciliation. It is a life of being a faithful witness of God's love in the world through our actions. Baptism is one of two primary Sacraments in the Episcopal Church, the other being Communion. These are the primary Sacraments as these were the two performed by Jesus himself.
