Baptism is a practice of belonging that not only affects individuals but the entire church. How have people with intellectual disabilities been excluded and why? What must we know in order to be baptized? How do we offer the necessary preparation? How do we all participate in baptism? Is there belonging without baptism? The webinar will explore all these questions and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brethren.org\/webcasts\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.brethren.org\/webcasts\">www.brethren.org\/webcasts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find more Church of the Brethren news:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts is-layout-flow wp-block-latest-posts-is-layout-flow\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/brethren-volunteer-service-unit-340\/\">Brethren Volunteer Service Unit 340 completes orientation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/la-unidad-340-del-bvs\/\">La Unidad 340 del Servicio Voluntario de los Hermanos completa la orientaci\u00f3n.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/inite-sevis-volonte-fre-yo-340\/\">Inite S\u00e8vis Volont\u00e8 Fr\u00e8 yo 340 fini oryantasyon an<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/pastors-manual-in-creole-french\/\">New Pastor\u2019s Manual in Haitian Creole and French to be used in Haiti and Africa<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/nuevo-manual-para-pastores\/\">Nuevo manual para pastores en criollo haitiano y franc\u00e9s para ser utilizado en Hait\u00ed y \u00c1frica.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cBecoming the Baptized Body: A Conversation on Baptism and Church Membership for People with Intellectual Disabilities\u201d is offered as an online webinar on Thursday, Oct. 26, at 1 p.m. (Eastern time).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":22914,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1703],"tags":[1673,2853,2291,3,1276,2099,1994,1304,1866],"wf_post_folders":[],"class_list":["post-22912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-church-of-the-brethren-newsline","tag-anabaptist-disabilities-network","tag-baptism","tag-church-membership","tag-church-of-the-brethren","tag-disabilities","tag-jeanne-davies","tag-online-event","tag-training","tag-webinar"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22912"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22912\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22915,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22912\/revisions\/22915"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22912"},{"taxonomy":"wf_post_folders","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wf_post_folders?post=22912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
