On Aug 8, we will be discussing Baptism, Chrismation and Churching. Our reading is from Fr. Hopko's The Orthodox Faith, vol ii: worship. If you do not have the text, you can go here.
Probably one of the better sources in English on Baptism is St. John Chrysostom's "Baptismal Instructions." These are the homilies he gave to prepare and follow up on the baptism of those coming into the Church. While some of this is general teaching, he does spend a lot of time talking about baptism itself. And this is the rare decent translation of Chrysostom.
