Baptistery
The teaching example places the baptistery near the entrance. Its position is not a command supplied by the Didache.
Tradition note
Coptic Orthodox diocesan teaching example; not the layout of all Oriental churches.
Key points
- Baptism is described as new birth into the Church, preceding Eucharistic participation.
- Font near the entrance in this teaching plan
Scripture
- Romans 6:3-4 — Read the literary context. Later ecclesial reception is supplied by the named source, not established by the passage alone.
