Your Baby’s Baptism in the Church of Englandby Stuart Thomas This slim, attractively presented A4 book is used by many parishes as a way of instructing parents who ask for their child to be Baptised. It explains the churches understanding of this Sacrament and answers many practical questions too, such as ‘Can we have our baby baptised in the church where we were married?’, ‘My children are both at school now, can they still be baptised?’ and many more.

Your Confirmation- A Journey of Questions and AnswersRevised edition edited by Jane Williams Originally published in 1996 In a magazine format familiar to youngsters, this slim book is for giving to those contemplating Confirmation; answers to many of the questions going round their heads, and answers to some questions they had not thought of yet! It is in no sense a Confirmation course, but a preparation, so that those who come to a course have had the chance to think through for themselves what they are undertaking and why. Some will reject the answers given, others will approach the learning involved in the course with a much more determined effort, as they understand more fully the big step into maturity and adulthood Confirmation involves.

Your Confirmation in the Church of Englandby Stuart Thomas For young people or adults, this book gives a clear explanation of the procedures and requirements of the Church. The author does not write as if every reader is going forward for confirmation, but here is plenty of help towards making that decision. The references to the Alternative Service Book are still relevant but hopefully a new edition referring to Common Worship will be forthcoming. Review by Mary Bartholomew (11/03/01) |

Your Godchild- How to be a Catholic Godparentby Bairbre Cahill This A4 28 page book is typical of the Redemptorist charism of explaining what being a Catholic means in a way that is informative, supportive and does not dumb down our Faith and practices. The potential Catholic Godparent finds out what is expected, and is encouraged to take this opportunity to develop their own relationship with God. We are taken through the Sacrament of Baptism step by step; we hear from parents, Godparents and the Godchildren about their feelings. There are suitable prayers, web links and suggestions as to how Godparents can help their Godchildren as they grow up. The Godparent is not an honorary or social appointment. We clergy have probably become too lax ourselves when Godparents are mentioned; this booklet will give us all who are involved in a baby's Baptism, the confidence to restore this ministry within the Church.
