	Dialogue with Baptist World Alliance
		Baptists give baptism only to those who are able to consciously make an act of faith, and not to infants.
		For example, the BWA invites a representative of the Catholic Church (along with representatives of various Christian World Communions) to attend the Baptist World Congress which is held every five years.
		But since the BWA was yet not ready to begin a second phase of dialogue, in order to ensure continuing contacts, the BWA proposed that a next step could be a similar gathering in 2001 where the two sides could continue discussion, if not official conversations.
