We're continuing our efforts to get our son christened at the local church but it's not proving easy.
The application form makes mention of those that cynically use baptism as a ruse to get their child into a high-achieving school and goes on to ask a series of uncomfortable questions. These include listing the previous parish the applicants have been attending, the regularity of attendance and the name of the parish preist. It also asks for the date and venue of the applicants' marriage.
We're fucked on all of those.
But I've got a plan: I'm going to fill it in with a lot of phoney baloney that'll put us a suitably hallowed light then, once the priest has read it, pull him aside for Confession. Then, in the secure, confidential confines of the Confessional, I'm going to admit it was all bullshit. And, by the way, we're Church of England...
