Baptism is one of the two great Christian sacraments. Most parents in this country still have their children baptised. But many clergy are very worried because they know that often the solemn promises made at Baptism on behalf of the child will not be kept.

Canon Basil Moss who edited a recent book on the subject talks with The Rev. John Grimwade Rector of Caversham and The Rev. Leslie Timmins, Superintendent Minister of the Bristol Methodist Mission.
