At St Alban's Acton last Sunday an eight adult and two infant baptism followed an early Christian custom. The ceremony included a procession to the church font, sponsors vowing to nurture the children in faith, and the parish clothing the children in white as they were welcomed into the congregation. The rite emphasized the exodus from natural life to a supernatural kingdom and the community's responsibility for the children's Christian nurture.
The Sunday ceremony featured oil anointing on each child’s forehead at the moment of baptism signaling entry into Christ’s life. A commentator compared the rite to athletes anointing themselves before combat and noted candles lit from altar candles to remind families Jesus is the Light of the World. Sponsors pledges were recited for future guidance as the rite began a teaching program from Easter to Pentecost.
