My boyfriend is getting baptised on Sunday

Hi raven! I'm sure he knows how much you want to be there for him. And you will be in spirit and he will know that you are. Sometimes we can't be physically there, but our presence can be felt especially in a celebration like this. If my boyfriend was going to be doing something like this I would want to be there for him too. But if I couldn't I know that he would understand. You don't have to be of the same religion as a loved one to share their joy. You can be of a different religion and still give them support too. I have been in relationships where we were of different religions but I always shared in whatever ceremonies I could regardless of the difference in our faiths.

Aww.... I'm so sorry that you cannot be there with your boyfriend when he goes through this ritual. At least, you cannot be there in person, but only in spirit. Do you think he could get it video taped by someone? That way you could see it with him at another time? I've never been in a relationship with someone from a different religion, but if I was, I would most certainly want to attend such an important event (assuming I was allowed to be there).

It is a shame that you cannot be with him on this special day, even if you do not share his faith (or are even a Christian), but at the same time I am sure that he understands the reasons. Religion is about many things but we are taught to be kind and comopassionate and understanding, which is smething that most religions practice. That is regardless of whether you are talking about Christians, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslims or Pagans. When I married my now ex-wife, I converted to her religion and we did go to Church regularly which made life a little interesting when our marriage broke up. My new partner is the same Religion as I was bought up in but her faith is not strong and the only times she goes to Church now is with me when we go back to my home town. She simply accepts that it is part of my life in the same way that I respect her decision not to attend Church on a regular basis.

That is such a shame that you can't be there to share this with him RJ! When you really care about someone, what's important to them becomes important to you. You don't always have to agree with it. It is something to share, a life experience that can be looked on as a moment to remember. I'm not a Christian but I still celebrate the regular religious holidays with my family and friends. We always have a great time. I hope he'll get some great pictures to show you, you can always share in the moment somehow even if you're not there. I'm sure he'll call and tell you all about it as well!

Is it good that your boyfriend is getting baptized. So it is time for both of you to get married. You see there are times when two individual goes to different denomination but they still have the same principles. What you should start doing now is having devotion and praying together. The bible says where there are unity no division can come between. I am sorry that you cannot be there but I know that your encouragement is with him and he understand.
