Godparent Guide

We collate some videos to give you some different views on Baptism. You will see four selected randomly and then a list of all the others.

N.B. Each of these videos will have a certain religious / non-religious position and may be from a specific Church - to help you understand that context we place icons by the video: Anglican | Roman Catholic | Baptist | Methodist | Non-Religious - all views are those of the person / organisation making the video.
