The Unbaptism.
A rite that reverses one performed on an infant who could not consent. It is short, public and deliberately mirrors the structure of the sacrament it undoes.
The Unbaptism reverses a rite performed on an infant who could not consent to it, and it is deliberately built to mirror the structure of what it undoes. It is short, it is public, it needs a witness, and it consists of renouncing the earlier rite and declaring the body one's own — the third tenet, spoken. The Temple performs it at gatherings and at its Salem headquarters. It is one of a small set of rites the Temple has developed alongside destruction rituals, in which an object standing for a source of harm is destroyed, and its own forms of wedding and funeral. None of them claim any supernatural effect, and the Temple is explicit that their function is psychological and social, which is an unusually candid thing for a church to publish about its own sacraments.
