Do you baptise people, and if you do, is their baptism recognised by other churches?

Yes of course. It is recognised throughout the catholic church, Roman, Anglican and Orthodox. It is a long standing custom throughout the trinitarian Christian world that everybody recognises everybody else’s baptism. The advantage of an independent baptism is that it can be conducted anywhere that the family may chose, and in the river if they wish! Beware of any clergy who try to tell you that you need to be ‘re-baptised’. You don’t unless you were baptised by someone who wasn’t in legitimate Holy Orders or otherwise authorised as a Minister. You may wish to renew your baptismal vows in a special Service, but that is a choice to be made by you.
