Drawing on the roots of early Methodists, Philip Meadows urges readers to use the act of "remembering their baptism" to connect themselves to their own discipleship and mission. This will result in the daily shaping of their Christian lives by personal and corporate spiritual discipline, which is itself decidedly baptismal in character. When church communities of every size remember their baptism, they hold one another accountable for the life of disciplined discipleship and everyday witness. A great resource for small group study and clergy.

Remembering Our Baptism is a soul-searching book, timely and much-needed. It offers a way to take seriously-to actually practice-what people pledge in their Christian baptism, and what the congregation itself promises. Phil Meadows calls the book "an exercise in holding on to the doctrine, spirit, and discipline of theearly Methodist movement, through the practice of remembering our baptism." The language of "remembering baptism" as presented here means much more, of course, than mere remembering as a cognitive function. Not just an act of memory, but a move into commitment and day-by-day discipleship in Christian community. Not just recalling to mind, but rather entering into true Christianvocation. This is the kind of remembering the Bible itself calls for: Remembering our covenant with God so that we actually walk in God's ways.
