Hello,
I have two neices who were both baptised in an ELCA Lutheran church.
The formula that was used was a baptism of immersion.
“I baptise you in the name of:
The Father (administer water)
and of The Son (administer water)
and of the Holy Spirit (administer water)
… the Mother of us all.”
I thought I misheard the formula, but then read it in the newspaper a few months later in an interview with the Pastor.
My question is: does the addition of “…the Mother of us all” invalidate the baptism as seen from the Catholic Church?
Thanks!
