Opis

'How much will mother's love Change, as years are told? Just as much as the mountain changes, Or the ocean old.' Non-religious naming ceremonies for children are becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to traditional christenings. It can be difficult, however, to find inspiring and dignified readings for such an important occasion. This book contains 48 readings including British and American poetry as well as ancient blessings and meditations from Celtic, Hindu, Native American and Buddhist traditions, which are either completely secular or which contain only minimal religious references. The readings will be suitable for a public or private civil ceremony or as non-religious readings at a traditional christening or other faith service.
