    Do you refer to baptism in the Anglican church or baptism at all? If he has been baptized in one of the denominations recognized by the Anglican church, he does not need to be baptized Anglican. The Anglican church recognizes and accepts baptism in most mainstream churches.

    If he has not been baptized in any denomination recognized by the Anglican church, he is not considered an Anglican at the present time. He may be attending Anglican services and, perhaps, taking Communion, but that alone does not make him an Anglican.

    You need to arrange a meeting with you minister to discuss the issues with him or her. Since it will be your minister, I presume, who will officiate at the baptism, you need to do this at some point. If your husband is known to the minister and is familiar with the tenets of the Anglican church, there should be few reasons why baptism would be delayed.

    He will be required to demonstrate that he understands, believes, and promotes the Christian faith as practiced by the Anglican church. He may be required to take instruction from your minister or another church official. Instruction would cover similar topics to those taught prior to confirmation. In addition to baptism, he may need to be confirmed before he can accept Communion.
