Celebrating Christian Initiation by Jones Simon
Drawing on research carried out as part of the Baptism Project, and making helpful connections with popular catechetical material from sources such as Pilgrim, Simon Jones considers how, where, and for whom rites of Christian initiation are celebrated, and how baptism has been rediscovered as fundamental to the Church’s identity and mission. Very little has been written recently about the celebration of rites of Christian initiation. Focussing primarily on the material in Common Worship (including the new texts for baptism) as well as drawing on other liturgical traditions, this book fills the gap with a concise yet comprehensive treatment that takes full account of the latest needs and developments.
Simon Jones is Chaplain and Fellow of Merton College, Oxford and an Honorary Canon of Christ Church, Oxford and Chichester Cathedral. He teaches Liturgy in the University of Oxford’s Faculty of Theology and Religion and at St Stephen’s House. He is a member of the Church of England Liturgical Commission, and was involved in drafting the alternative Common Worship baptism texts (which received final synodical authorisation in 2015).
