Deb,
I would use Christening in the example you used, and Baptismal for the
religious service done on an adult after they have accepted Christ.

Subject: [TMG] Baptisms and Christenings



I've noticed and have wondered for a while now that TMG has both a
baptism and a christening tag. Because I don't distinguish between the
2, I've been using both and now, 6 months later, I see that of the 14
ppl who I've actually had the time to create such a tag for, half are
baptisms and half are christenings but I meant them in the same way.. as
in take a naked screaming 6 month old baby and have a 100 yr old priest
(or better a monk) submerge it in an equally old 100 year old golden
swimming pool.. (yeah my big fat greek christening hehe)
Why would I use one instead of the other? If it's just a matter of
preference, I'll choose one and stick with it.

Thanks guys :)
Deb
