- "[By] Craig R. Gates".
- "Every Christian (or parents and godparents on that Christian's behalf) makes five promises when he or she is baptized. They are part of the Baptismal Covenant in 'The Book of Common Prayer (pages 3-4-305) and define what it means to be a Christian. What do they mean ? Here's a closer look" -- p. 2.
- Contents: Will you continue in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers ? -- Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord ? -- Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ ? -- Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbour as yourself ?
- "Craig R.H. Gates is former rector of the [Episcopal] Church of the Nativity, Greenwood, Mississippi", and is now canon pastor to the retired clergy of the Diocese of Mississippi". -- back page.
