One Baptism - Mutual Recognition

Occasionally, the NCCA is approached to provide copies of the Common Baptismal Certificate, recognised by ten Australian Churches. These include nine of our member churches and one observer church.

The NCCA does not issue or hold this stock but they can be purchased online from a variety of sources.

If you have been wondering where to find these and would like to use them for upcoming baptisms of either children or adults, here is a short list of suppliers below.

• The Catholic Church in Australia
• The Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia & New Zealand
