| A long standing member of
BI (Rev Peter Stretton of Wedmore, Somerset), humbled us recently
by sending a copy of an early document inviting daily prayer, suggesting
that it might be reissued. With minor changes and deep
appreciation we do so below: |
|
Monday |
For Parents - that they will keep their promises made to bring up their
children in the family of Christ's Church and that they will wholeheartedly
receive instruction and practice what they are taught as an example to their
children. |
|
Tuesday |
For Godparents and Sponsors - that they will assist the parents by their
own spiritual example and their godchildren as they grow older |
|
Wednesday |
For those baptised - that as they grow up they will come to accept Jesus
Christ as their Lord and Saviour and be themselves an example of godly living.
|
|
Thursday |
For the Baptismal Integrity Committee – that they will have vision to
see the right issues and have the skills and discretion to follow God’s
direction. |
|
Friday |
For Bishops, Clergy and members of General Synod – that they will
preach the seriousness of Baptism and that all Parishes will give full Baptism
preparation and after care. |
|
Saturday |
For Baptism Integrity – giving thanks for the work of all Christian
people in the upbringing of children and young people and that they seek the
guidance of the Holy Spirit in all they do for the extension of God’s Kingdom. |
