Sticking my head above the parapet - please don't shoot! I am religous, I belive in God and Jesus, I go to church, my children are baptised. My oldest has just got into the local church school, which I am thrilled about, so she will get a grouding in her faith at school, as well as at home. That's all I have to say, I am not an eloquant person, unlike most of you on here, so can't always put into words what I want to say, but as very few others have held up their hands I thought I should, either that or East Dulwich really is a mostly non-religous area now. But out of curiousity, how many of you with children have had them baptaised/christened, but don't attend church? And why did you feel the need to have them baptised? Jo
