    This was a breath of fresh air, a great contrast to our (Anglican) baptism service which is terribly undermined by religious jargon which coagulates into meaninglessness. I do about 30 a year and it’s a terrible shame they have to be so haughty.
    I’m wondering if I did something along these lines I might put just a little bit more God into the Godparents’ commitment; but the simple thing is, looking at this, I’m inspired to have a go and create something along these lines. Good one.

    That was excellent, and I have taken the gross liberty of borrowing some of the text for dedication prayers we’ll be doing for friends’ child tomorrow.
    I noticed that the last prayer was from Common Worship…
    Thanks

    also very inspired by Elias dedication service, would love to incorporate some
    of the words, ideas etc into our sons dedication. I hope that’s okay!
