Give suggestions for some Twin Cities church to re-baptize me

[ButterflyBlood]

I'm not going to set up some ceremony or big event around it, I just want one quick and easy to prepare as a means of renouncing my Catholic baptism. Anyone got some suggestions?

1. A humanist counselor might be able to do this.

I was married by a humanist counselor.

2. Well, if you are no longer a believer, why renounce something you

don't believe has any efficacy anyway? Just throw a party and announce that you're an atheist.

If you remain a Christian, just not the Catholic variety, no other mainstream Christian denomination will re-baptize you. However, if you wish to join a different denomination, the proper ceremony for that is confirmation or reception, depending on the denomination.

3. You could get yourself excommunicated by the Catholics.

They have a kind of a cool ceremony for that:

"We separate him, together with his accomplices and abettors, from the precious body and blood of the Lord and from the society of all Christians; we exclude him from our Holy Mother, the Church in Heaven, and on earth; we declare him excommunicate and anathema; we judge him damned, with the Devil and his angels and all the reprobate, to eternal fire until he shall recover himself from the toils of the devil and return to amendment and to penitence."

Although that is a bit heavy.
