How to be a great Godparent

This guide takes you beyond the practical role that you will fulfil on the day of the infant's christening or baptism. It offers suggestions as to how your relationship with your godchild can develop and what you can be doing to help as their young life takes shape.

There are Bible passages for you to read, which underline the importance of children in the kingdom of God, and there are prayers for you to pray for your godchild, not just on special occasions such as birthdays, but every day.
