1. Who can be baptized at Gloria Dei?
    Anyone is welcome to be baptized at Gloria Dei! You don’t have to be Episcopalian, and we baptize both children and adults. We are convinced that God’s love and welcome are not limited by age, denomination, race, gender, orientation, or anything else.
  2. What is baptism, and why do we do it?
    Baptism is a rite of initiation, by which people are welcomed into the community of the Christian church (broadly) and into the life of the Gloria Dei community (in particular). The water and oil used in baptism are signs of God’s unconditional love for every person, and of our call to be part of God’s work of healing this world.
  3. If a person dies unbaptized, are they in danger of hell?
    No! We believe in God’s love and mercy, which can reach a person regardless of the circumstances of their life or death. While each person can freely choose when or whether to accept God’s love, our hope is that this love will ultimately outlast all human stubbornness and pride.
