Presbyterians do not require sponsors or god parents for baptism. In fact I feel it may be frowned upon. You see, during the baptism the Pastor asks the congregation to help raise the baby in the church. He even gets a show of hands. So baby Lola, should the horrible happen, will have about 200 people making certain she makes good decisions. I think we might all benefit from that kind of influence.
