DS is probably going to be christened in DH's home parish, but my grandparents, who are elderly and unwell, would not be able to travel. I would love it if we could also have a family celebration at my grandparents' house and have DS blessed within this celebration (haven't actually suggested this to DH yet!)
However . . . my family are RC, but DS is being christened in the CofE. This isn't an issue for anyone, but it means that my grandparents' parish priest would be probably not be willing/allowed to perform a blessing on a baby that was not baptised RC. But then if I ask the CofE minister in their parish, then he/she is not going to know who my grandparents are, as they obviously attend the RC church. However, my auntie does attend the CofE church, so that could possibly be a slight link.
Does anyone know what a CofE minister would think of a request like this?
Thank you.
