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

CAPTION: Tweet, tweet, I thought I saw a police officer
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...

CAPTION: KFC Idiot Manager
KFC has been ordered to pay $15,000 to a young worker as compensation for sexual harassment by an assistant manager who "growled" at her like a cat, dragged her by the leg across a floor, and asked her to swim naked at Bondi Beach.
The NSW Administrative Decisions Tribunal found the then teenage worker had been sexually harassed and it was satisfied that she would have been offended, humiliated or intimidated by the assistant manager's conduct at KFC's Punchbowl store in Sydney, The Australian reports.
The worker alleged the assistant manager on about four occasions in 2007 told her "you have a nice arse", and on about 10 occasions, said, "I wouldn't mind if the buttons on your top went all the way down".
She alleged he said, "I wouldn't mind rooting your sister", and also told her mother, "if you were single, I would have you". She claimed he said "you would go wild if drunk".
