[Magdalen] Baptism refused...

[Jo Craddock]

That would not be me. I was just curious, if, e.g., the parents wanted a 
baptism for some secular reason (cynical me thinks $$) and were not 
willing, nor had anyone, to make the promises on behalf of the child 
your alleged minister required (bringing her up in the faith, etc.).

Perhaps the only twit thing was the person requesting it not baptizing 
her, on their own.

While I think we miss the boat, in some instances, involving families 
more in the life of the church with the easy-peasy instruction our 
current rector calls for, I am ever-more grateful for his "anyone, 
anytime, anywhere" approach to baptism (and funerals).

Peace,
Jo
