The Five Marks of Mission: To Teach, Baptize, and Nurture

May 10, 2025

Each Sunday in Lent and throughout the Fifty Days of Easter, Bishop Doug will share a video related to the Baptismal Covenant and the Five Marks of Mission. For the Fourth Sunday of Easter, Bishop Doug takes a look at the second of the Five Marks of Mission, "to teach, baptize, and nurture new believers." He asks us to consider the following questions this week.

1. Do you participate in the ongoing opportunities of Bible study and faith formation in your faith community?

2. Is there an intentional process of forming adults seeking baptism, confirmation, reception, or reaffirmation in your faith community? And did you participate in such a program of formation?

3. Is there an ongoing Sunday adult forum program or other faith formation opportunities for children in your faith community? And is there an ongoing discussion of the issues and concerns that we are facing in our diocese along with the issues that we are facing in the wider church? And do you participate in them? Are you willing to participate and/or lead such discussions for ongoing formation for persons in our faith communities in the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana?
