So, a little background. I am a convert to the church, I was baptized when I was 16. After graduating college I became inactive and have just started coming back to church. My husband and I have a 6 month old son and upon meeting with my new bishop (we also just moved) he suggested having my son blessed. My husband is not a member of the church. He is a disfellowshipped Jehovah's Witness and has very strong feelings over having children commit to religion related to his being disfellowshipped.
I would like to have my baby blessed, but I honestly don't know muchabout about the ordinance itself, not having grown up in the church. Despite my lack ofthe knowledge, I feel in my heart having him blessed is the right thing to do.
My question is, what are some things I can discuss with my husband to show him the importance and significance of the baby blessing? I have a feeling he will be skeptical and I want to broach the subject correctly. Like I said, I don't know much myself, so I would like to learn more for my own sake as well.
Thank you in advance!
