The 2023 World Conference adopted WCR 1324, Resolution on Baptism and Membership, which states, “that the World Conference request the president of the church to give additional prayer and study seeking divine guidance on persons who were baptized before the age of eight becoming members of Community of Christ via confirmation after having attained the age of eight.”
World Church leaders have been wrestling with this question for over 20 years. To help the church review what has been happening on this topic, the First Presidency created a resource that includes the following:
- Brief history
- Theological reflections
- Discussion and reflection questions
- Prophetic questions
- Online survey
Please use these resources to encourage discussion and discernment in your area. The survey will remain open until 31 December 2025.
