Birth Rites? Joan Bakewell examines whether baptism should be for believers or babies. A growing number of vicars in the Church of England are denying children baptism unless their parents can demonstrate faith. They say they are being true to the teachings of the Church. Other clergy argue that it is wrong to turn children away from the very starting point of Christian life. Heart of the Matter talks to parents and priests on both sides of the debate.
