Regional studies show declining infant baptism rates
(LWI) - Bishop Emeritus Kristján Valur Ingólfsson of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Iceland (ELCI) gently ushers a toddler out of his home office, while pointing out that his grandchild was a “baptized one.” The toddler made an unexpected appearance during one of five webinars which seeks to study and ultimately reflect on the decline in the number of baptisms among Nordic churches.
“Baptism in times of change” is a joint project of the Lutheran national churches in Sweden, Iceland, Finland, Norway and Denmark and part of a larger initiative “Churches in times of change.”
