Maybe this thread is not the place but I think that given that a christening is meant to be a solemn commitment to bring your children up with god in their lives, then having actually gone to church other than a few weddings and maybe at christmas is a fair enough committment, rather than some kind of tick box of middle class convention? Does make me laugh posters moaning about having to actually go to church!! Personally, I think it's hogwash and my kids won't go anywhere nera afont unless they decide themselves, but have no problem with ACTIVE practising christians doing this..the rest of you?? don't get it at all. You need to conform that much?
