Based on Isaiah 62:1-2. Committing to the Vision of Beloved Community.
One of five questions we ask of baptismal candidates - or those making promises for children - is this:
Trusting in the gracious mercy of God, do you turn from the ways of sin and renounce evil and its power in the world?
And then we are invited to respond: I do. Or even more emphatically: I renounce them!
