I was perusing my Google reader catching up on my latest RSS feeds and came across a posting that shows a baptism being conducted via the internet! You can view the blurb and watch the video of the baptism at Tim Stevens blog (Leading Smart) by clicking here.
I am pretty sure that my Word and Worship instructors would have fits over this...there is no laying on of hands by the pastor, no "official" liturgy out of the Book of Worship, the Methodist Hymnal or the Book of Common Prayer, etc.
Does this fit into our Methodist Theology? More specifically, does it fit in with our sacramental theology and our understanding of orders, etc?
I need to chew on this for a day or two (at least), but I am curious about what your thoughts are too!
Peace,
Russell
