We want to get dd baptised. We have attended two meetings and the church wants us to have a service of thanks giving and then have visitors from the church before booking a date for the baptism service.
There was a very cheesy session on forgiveness. One of the parents said they struggled to forgive a particular man. (She gave no details) The priest said to her that you cannot have that attitude if you are going to get your baby baptised. I felt so sorry for the lady as I felt she had been judged on next to no evidence. None of us are perfect.
I struggle to forgive the man who held a piece of sharp glass to my throat at the age of 19 in an attempt to pressurise me into sex. Does that mean that I should not get my dd baptised?
