Baby Different Religion to Parents

That's interesting Bath ... I DO see your point. Why the discrepancy in fees do you think?

[Bathsheba]

I assume it's because the Catholic Church is a wealthier entity and able to provide larger subsidies on behalf of the students

i simply see it as a ceremony into "goodness".

That's similar to how I feel about it, Kitten.

My DD will soon be baptised (Catholic ceremony) - even though I am a lapsed catholic (I now believe in more universal spiritual principles based on my personal mystical experience) it is really important to us to bless and give thanks for the life of our child. For me, the reality is that God is God no matter which vehicle you choose to worship the Godhead through. It is simply more natural for me to approach this momentous ceremony through a church whose conventions I am most familiar with, even though I believe the ceremony itself transcends the boundary of that church.

Does that make sense? In times gone past this thinking would probably have made me a heretic!

My DH is Greek Orthodox and I am Catholic, we had a GO wedding (I had a disspensation from the Catholic Church) and our Daughters are both Christened GO, that being said both will hopefully attend the local RC school, DH has had more Catholic schooling than me, they won't be attending the GO schools as the one closest is very very biased "GO is the only way to go" whilst the RC schools are more open around here.
