I sat, four rows back on the right, just behind the grandparents of the beautiful little girls being baptized. My Christian faith tradition practices the baptism of babies and children, and that day a young family was presenting their 3-year old COVID baby and her infant sister for this ancient sacrament. In our practice, baptism represents the covenantal response of parents and the faith community to teach and to love the child in the ways of God, praying that one day these beloved little ones will intentionally accept the gift of God's grace of their own accord.
