Session 2

Session Abstract

The affirmation that one and the same Christian baptism is conferred and received by washing and the invocation of the divine names has become a foundation for mutual recognition and respect among diverse communities and a basis for their seeking appropriate unity. This belief was not always affirmed and accepted in Christian teaching and practice; it was developed through conflict and controversy.  This paper will trace the stages in which Augustine provided a doctrinal explanation for a disputed dogma.
