CAPTION: Bastards Baptisms
THE Church of England will offer combined wedding and baptism services, officials say, as research shows increasing numbers of couples in Britain are having children out of wedlock.
Although the church does not sanction couples having children before marriage, officials said the new services were aimed at encouraging unmarried parents to eventually tie the knot.
The service, to be unveiled later today, allows couples to baptise their children after their wedding ceremony, and parents themselves can also get baptised at the same time.
A church spokesman said clergy would continue to teach that sex is best confined to marriage, but also recognise that it was "not standing in judgment on their past".
"The Church of England believes that the best place for sex is within marriage, and marriage is best for bringing up children. That hasn't changed," the spokesman said

IT'S safe to say Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Ken Lay isn't the grooviest bloke in Australia.
But the bespectacled police face of state road safety is the latest convert to the wonderful world of Twitter.
Mr Lay will tweet tonight, posting updates on a surprise major breathalyser blitz to be launched somewhere in the state.
He will discuss the "embarrassingly boozy breath readings recorded" of twits caught by police, Victoria Police said.
He'll also be sacrificing his Milo and slippers for the night to try to connect with young drivers in the hope of making them realise the dangers of getting behind the wheel under the influence...
