Online Baptism
While reflecting on the sacraments for an internet campus several weeks ago, I wrote,
"I am not willing to suggest that sacraments could be administered online or remotely in any way."
I had thought that this would be a common response for leaders in mainline congregations. I was wrong in at least one case. I read of a baptism by a United Methodist Pastor at Can You Baptize Somone Over the Internet? I commend that post to you for additional perspectives in the comments. I still do not think that I am ready to say that I would be okay with this, but I admit that seeing these videos is stretching me.
What do you think?
