Babies birth - 12 months What age should you introduce rusks??? Hi Mandy As you've said its a personal choice. We decided this because neither of us go to church or are particularly religious. It didn't go down well with OH's family but ho hum! Hi There We were in the same dilemma, myself and oh are not church goers at all but I wanted my ds to be christened just in case If anything happened to him he would be looked after if heaven does exist iykwim and if anything happened to us our families were aware who we had chosen as god parents, it was also a lovely reason to have a happy family celebration after far too many sad ones.
It's a decision that depends on how you feel x. I don't think she'll feel let down if all her friends were christened.. It's really personal as you have said..

I'm not religious but I believe that if anything happened to my baby then they'd go to a better place regardless. It's a baby what can they do wrong? In answer to bel23aye.
Hi It is a personal choice. When my LO was born I hadn't been to church in eyars and really didn't know what to do. I decided I woudl have him christened but would start going to church again and keep going. It has been a year now and we still go. As a pp said there are so many people who start going to have LO christned and then never go again.

Baby Christening Christening, although viewed as the same as baptism, in the eyes of the Church of England, has a comparable meaning to a baby dedication. Its Meaning and Significance in Christianity. Today on Christianity. About Christianity. Fifty years ago it was very common to hold a christening just a couple of weeks after a baby was born. However there is a lot more variety in the age of children being christened these days.
Some families will even hold a christening for several siblings, or cousins, at the same time. There are a few steps to organising a christening. First of all, you need to work out where the christening will be held. If you are an active churchgoer, you would usually choose to hold the ceremony at your local church.
However if you are not currently attending a local church, you may want to find an appropriate one near your home. If you have friends with children who attend a church nearby, get some first-hand advice about what to expect and how to arrange it. In the bad old days, a godparent was a person usually with solid societal status and of relative wealth who would be a backup for parents and ensure the child received a religious education, if parents were unavailable or if the child was orphaned.
These days, parents often choose close friends to be godparents. Check the requirements of godparents with your church. Some churches require the godparents to attend classes before the ceremony and may require production of their own christening certificate, while others are just happy for godparents to turn up. If you are having a personal christening service rather than joining a communal christening event, ask your guests to arrive with plenty of time to spare so that the event can run on time.
Usually, the priest or reverend will begin the service by inviting parents and godparents to stand around the front.
