In many ways it's sad that Christ's church has split into denominations at all; that not the way it was meant to be. There are different denominations because Christians disagree about the importance and significance of various things. For instance, at Richmond Park Church we believe in full adult baptism, that is to say, you get baptised when you are old enough to make up your own mind that it's all true and that you want to give your life to Jesus and become a Christian - and then we dunk your entire body in a pool of water that is set into the stage in our church building! You may have automatically undergone a C of E baptism, getting a cross of water marked out on your forehead at some point. It's sad that we have spilt off into so many different denominations or factions, squabbling and disagreeing about secondary issues, there's no excuse for it. But it's extremely encouraging when the different churches in Bournemouth work together, when we remember our priorities: Jesus Christ came to save us all from a life cut-off from God, and get us back on-line with Him, and churches exist to worship God and introduce people to Jesus richmondparkchurch.org.uk
