From The Daily Mail-
Only one in ten babies is baptised into the Church of England – and in London, the figure is even lower at three in every 100, a national breakdown of the Church’s strength has revealed.
The tiny minority of infants who are introduced to Christianity by the CofE in London is mirrored in other major cities.
In Birmingham,
only 5 per cent of babies are christened by the Anglican church; in
Bristol it’s 6 per cent; in Manchester 8 per cent; and in Nottingham 9
per cent.
But the proportion of newborn children who are baptised is much higher
in provincial towns and rural areas. In the Hereford diocese, for
example, one in four babies is christened by the CofE.
