General Introduction 23 5) to adapt and supplement the Introductions contained in the Roman Ritual, so that ministers may fully understand the meaning of the rites and perform them effectively, once their decisions have been accorded the recognitio of the Apostolic See; 6) in the various editions of the liturgical books to be prepared under the guidance of the Conferences of Bishops, to arrange the material in a form that seems most suitable for pastoral use. 31. Taking into consideration especially the norms in the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, nos. 37-40 and 65, the Conferences of Bishops in mission countries have the responsibility to judge whether the elements of initiation in use among some peoples can be adapted for the rite of Christian Baptism and to decide whether such elements are to be incorporated into it, once their decisions have been accorded the recognitio of the Apostolic See. 32. When the Roman Ritual for Baptism gives several optional formulas, local rituals may add other formulas of the same kind, once their decisions have been accorded the recognitio of the Apostolic See. 33. Since the celebration of Baptism is greatly enhanced by singing— to stimulate a sense of unity among those present, to foster their common prayer, and to express the paschal joy with which the rite should resound—Conferences of Bishops should encourage and support skilled musicians to compose settings for those liturgical texts that are considered suitable to be sung by the faithful. V Adaptations within the Competence of the Minister 34. Taking into account existing circumstances and other needs, as well as the wishes of the faithful, the minister should make generous use of the various options allowed in the rite. 35. In addition to the optional formulas for the dialogue and blessings that are provided in the Roman Ritual itself, the minister may introduce certain adaptations for special circumstances, of which more will be said in the Introductions to Baptism for adults and for children.
