York City Centre Baptisms

 

To mark Easter Day, Dr John Sentamu, Archbishop of York, baptised 25 people in York city centre.

In an open air baptismal pool outside the Church of St Michael le Belfry, next to York Minster, the Archbishop welcomed 25 people into the Christian faith by baptising them by total immersion.

The 25 candidates, who had been prepared for service over previous weeks, all told the Archbishop their reasons for becoming Christians before proceeding to be baptised.

The celebration was organised by One Voice York, a network of Christian churches and leaders of different denominations working together across the city.
