Naming Ceremonies
These days many people want some form
of ceremony to mark their baby's coming into the world, but
for whatever reason do not want the formality of a church
christening or baptism service.
In Church
The Church of England offers a service
of Thanksgiving
for the Gift of a Child, from the Book of Common Worship.
It is intended for parents who do not want their child baptised
yet, but do want to celebrate the birth or adoption and to
give thanks to God.
Secular, non-religious
ceremonies
There are two organizations we have
found in the UK that can advise on secular, non-religious
ceremonies. They will also, if required, provide someone to
officiate. They are The
Humanist Society and
The Baby Naming
Society(See details
below). Please e-mail us if you know of others we should include
on the list.
We like to think eGodparent.com
is just as useful and relevant a resource for those who prefer
to think of themselves as 'Sponsors' 'Guide parents' etc as
it is to those who are more formally 'Godparents'. All ultimately
have the spiritual well-being of someone else's child at heart,
so many of the content pages here, such as the
best thing you can give is time, will apply just as
well.
