Christenings

From time immemorial, parents have celebrated the arrival of a newborn by initiating them into their faith, their family or society in general.

The style of a traditional Christening or Baptism is well known, and Archbishop Ron adheres to the basic Christian formula of immersion or pouring water on the child (or adult) while using the Trinitarian formula of Baptism.

Ceremonies can be specially created/added to using the family’s own selection of words, poems, and readings from the wide selection provided. A certificate of Baptism is provided after the ceremony.

There are many ways to make your child’s ceremony a very personal, meaningful, and unique event for all those involved. Again, Archbishop Ron does not require you to be a member of a particular church or denomination – this is about you and your children, not the church.

Archbishop Ron is also happy to conduct “Naming and Welcoming” ceremonies in his capacity as a civil celebrant. As with any ceremony, it will be crafted to your needs an be a reflection of the love you have and will shower on your child for the rest of your lives.
