Life Events
Baptism
In baptism, we thank God for his gift of life and publicly acknowledge his love. In the Anglican Church it is common to baptise young babies and children; this is sometimes known as christening. Baptism is a 'sacrament' (holy ritual to symbolise God's grace) in the Christian tradition that is traced back to Jesus himself being baptized in the river Jordan.

Weddings
Today more than a quarter of all marriages in England take place before God in the traditional setting of a Church of England church. You're welcome to marry in church whatever your beliefs, whether or not you are baptised and whether or not you go to church. Follow this link to a Church of England website which will explain in greater detail.
Funerals
A funeral marks the close of a human life on earth. It is the opportunity for friends and family to express their grief, to give thanks for the life which has now completed its journey in this world. Link to this Church of England website to find out more.
