How is it even possible to hijack a Christening? Were they trying to go all John-The-Baptist on you and serve locusts & wild honey at the afterparty?

The whole point is to commit to raising your child to know and serve Jesus. Long before you can start teaching your precious progeny to memorize scripture or make him go to Sunday School, you do that by being an example.
