While it is tempting to reform Baptism (as in some Presbyterian etc. Chapels and Churches) as an R~ - C – r~ sacrament only, the danger with any ritual is that it is taken for the real thing. The fact is, spiritual death and re-birth are inner experiences, irrespective of ritual.

This whole concept* exists only in outline at present, and any suggestions must be provisional.
