My partners Catholic and I'm atheist, we've already agreed because of how important it is to him that we'll raise our LG catholic, she's gonna be baptised and go to a Catholic school, and if they both want me to go to church with them once she's old enough to understand then I will, and I'll explain i do it to support them and their beliefs because we support the people we love. Not sure how it'll go as she's still a baby rn but that's the plan we've discussed together x
Hi, I’m a Christian that also works as the children & families worker for a church. My husband is atheist but very respectful of my beliefs and even helps out at events when needed. We are due our first child in April. We have discussed the idea of how to “raise” our child. I believe that Sunday schools/churches should always approach “teaching and exploring” with a “this is what Christian believe/what we believe” attitude to provide children with the idea of what the Bible says, and give them the opportunity to wonder/think about what that means for them. So my husband is happy for me to bring our children along to church until they are old enough to decide for themselves as our church is very much a space to explore beliefs and decide for yourself… and that will be the conversation amongst our family time at home too.
How old is the child? I’m Christian, their father is Muslim. So you can imagine what it’s like on Sunday mornings in my house getting ready for church .. but I just explain to our eldest that people have different beliefs, which is fine but this is what we do, and why we do it.
