Sean Fletcher is in Liverpool to learn more about the importance of baptism for Christians and to find out how Jesus’s baptism is celebrated by different denominations at this time of year. He speaks to Canon Philip Anderson at Liverpool Cathedral about the history of baptism and the meaning behind the symbols and the ceremony. We hear from a group of Ethiopian Christians about how they mark the anniversary of Jesus’s baptism in the River Jordan with their spectacular Timkat festival, we discover why full-immersion baptisms are also an integral part of the Pentecostal Church, and we witness a family baptism and explain the importance of the role of godparents.
