The Baptismal Font
Also representing the chalice used in the Lord's Supper, the central portion of the cross represents a baptismal font. Presbyterians do not believe full immersion is necessary for receiving this sacrament, and the font, used for sprinkling, features prominently in Presbyterian houses of worship. Baptism represents the cleansing of sin, a new birth in Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit, union with Christ, and initiation into the fellowship of the church--the body of Christ. |
