- Title
(Kinder-)Taufe – Erfahrungen eines Pfarrers.
- Authors
PATSCH, JAKOB
- Abstract
The article titled "(Children's) Baptism - Experiences of a Pastor" deals with the challenges that arise for a pastor when baptizing children whose parents and godparents have no connection to the church. The author states that baptism represents an obligation for parents and godparents to raise the child in faith, and that baptism without this willingness is questionable. Nevertheless, many parents baptize their children, even if they themselves are distant from the Christian faith. The article emphasizes the importance of a vibrant faith community for baptism and calls on the church to respond to this challenge and open the path of becoming a Christian for adults and children.
