    Rite of Christian Initiation

    Might be a better PM, but I'm interested in hearing more about the Rite of Christian Intiation for Adults. There's a class going on and I'm curious as to what the process involves, what things I should expect.

    I'm not sure whether I want to follow through at this point, but I am interested in learning more.

    So can anyone help me here?

        It really depends on the denomination. Which church are you looking to join?

          The RCIA takes place in my g/f's Catholic church...

          I don't know whether I want to join or not, just looking at what would be involved.

            I can't imagine that anyone but RC would have a "Rite of Christian Initiation." Maybe SDA?

            Just show up and listen, mostly. They don't install the pod until later.

              It would be different depending on wether you were already a Christian from a different denomination or wether you were another religion or atheist.

                RCIA is the preparation to become a catholic.

                The Church didn't actively recruit for many years but it looks likes they've opened the books lately

                I'm surprised there's a course on at this time of year. Usually they do it during lent with baptism in Easter. Maybe this course leads up to a Christmas/advent baptism.

                  That's what I'm wondering... I'm already baptised and a member of a Mennonite church. I've heard conflicting testimony, so I'll have to find out.

                    How is it different from confirmation and/or baptism? The Episcopal church sometimes has adult baptism either for people who were never baptised or for those who want to be re-baptised.
