A father's prayer of thanksgiving to God
This is the closing prayer that I gave at the end of the baptism of our daughter, Clara. My wife, Nicole is Catholic, I am the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Franklin. Our marriage is a testament to the spirit of Ecumenism that I have hoped for (and found here in Franklin) in my ministry. Thus long before Clara was born, we had already decided to honor her mother's tradition, and that of her mother's family, should we have children, through baptism into the Catholic Church. Clara will be brought up to honor and respect the traditions of the faith of both her mother, and her father, attending as both Nicole and I do, church on Saturday (at St. Pat's) and Sunday (at 1st Baptist).
