i am not sure that you can baptise a child into 2 religions - unless you lie and say the baby was not christened yet?, surely this also defeats the purpose of choosing a religion for your child but rather doing it out of convience to keep family happy?

i would suggest choosing the religion that you can best raise and educate your child in (ie if hubby is catholic but non-practising and you r then i would go your religion so at least one of you can teach the child when they grow up and ask questions).

We have this situation too redearth, so dont think i am judging you as i am not, we have spent a long time talking through this. i amm anglican and dh is greek-orthodox. I know more about christianity than him so we have decided to christen our bub anglican. We have family in townsville to tully and bundaberg to brisbane so we have chosen to christen her in brisbane as it is a capital city that people can fly easily too if this wish to attend.

In saying that we are not having a huge hoo-ha over the day, informal invites, morning tea etc, we have decided that the most important thing is having dd baptised and not fulfilling the wats and needs of every family member throughout qld (we were almost going to have her baptism at our local church where we have no family!).

so my advice if choose what is best for your baby, not keeping families happpy, if they really want to be there they will be regardless of where you have it. Dont confuse the child by having dual-religions - afterall they are both christian so whats the diff? And if you feel you have to lie to the chrches about previous baptism or your reasons for wanting 2 different christian religions then i wouldnt be baptising bub at all.

Figure out what you want as a new family and do that. Your new family is whatcomes first now, not pleasing others.

hope you find the answer to your dilemma soon
