Dedication (Baptist ceremony)
- Dedication (Baptist ceremony)
-
A dedication ceremony takes place in some Christian churches which practice adult baptism (most commonly Baptist churches). The child is presented to the congregation, and vows are made to raise him or her in the Christian tradition, in the same way as at the more common christening ceremony, but the child is not baptised, as the adherents of the denomination believe infants are unable to make a profession of Jesus Christ as Savior.
