[welshboy]

over the last year ive been quite religious and all my family except me was christened.

i know its not classed as a christening now but something else, how would i go about this ?

Chuck some water on your head?

Or, ring a vicar.

You can get Baptised any age.

Why do you ask?

i imagine you could get baptised at any age. You could start by talking to a priest perhaps?

 

[Gackt]

You'll be looking at a Baptism. If you go to a Church, speak to your Pastor. Usually you'll have it done with the Pastor, a family member (possibly) and your congregation - usually to sort of welcome you into the Church group. But that's not necessary.

Either way, speak to your pastor. Or, if you're not part of a Church, find one. : P

your local Preist will be able to arrange to have this done for you.

I can't believe you actually asked that on an internet forum :/

Isn't it obvious if you want a Christening/Baptism that you go to a church?

Seeing as thats where they take place and all..

All you need to know is on this website:

Have you been going to Church or have you just been following your own path? The fact you don't know the name of what you want done seems very strange to me?

Anyway you just need to phone your local church representative and speak to the Priest / Vicor to organise a meeting where you can discuss it.

It may be that poster is getting married to a CofE/Catholic girl and you have to get this done to get married... thats the only reason why that I can think of :/

Oh shush....

Have a think about how the known universe works and think again if you want to follow made up stories

At 23, I'm assuming he's capable of making his own decisions.

Let me remind you that Newton and many other great minds have been Christians. This country was built on the foundation of Christian values.

Science is not a way to live, it cannot teach you morals, grace and inner peace.

You don't need to be Catholic to marry one in their church, there were a lot of couples at my church with one Catholic and the other Church or Scotland or even no religion.

Great Post

Yes you can get christened at any age however prepare for public embarresment as you'll have to get in a paddling pool in front of the entire congregation of the church

 

[Roalith]

... or you could just read The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. Plus there's the bonus of not having to get wet!

True, but religion isn't the only way to teach those things.
