Baptizing Babies

“One reason why we persist in baptizing babies – helpless, dependent, sinful, little things that babies are – because each of us, at any age, is helpless, dependent, in need of God doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves” (William H. Willimon & Stanley Hauerwas, Lord, Teach Us: The Lord’s Prayer and the Christian Life, 28).

Amen, indeed.
