Why does the Episcopal Church baptize infants?
We believe that baptism is the surest sign of Gods grace. While it is true that infants do not understand the vows that their parents and godparents make on their behalf, they, and we, begin, in the sacrament of baptism, a life-long journey of living into these vows. Once persons are old enough to make a mature affirmation of their faith, they are invited to do so through the sacramental rite of Confirmation.
