answer text

<p>Data are not kept on the nationality or migration status of those who seek Baptism. The content of the rite of Baptism remains the same for all. <br>Clergy are required by canon law to ensure that all who come to Baptism as adults are given appropriate teaching on the tenets of the faith and in encouragement to private spiritual devotion. Therefore, the preparation process may require specific, lengthier input and instruction of some groups of candidates before the clergyperson is confident of the independent faith of each individual.</p>
