My wife and I attended a baptism workshop yesterday. We have a baby boy on the way, and it seemed like a good idea to do something like this in advance.
The workshop was about 45 minutes long, and covered basics like, "What's a sacrament?" and "Why do we do baptism?" For most of the workshop I was surprised with the simplicity of the content.
I guess I recognize why the church does this - not everyone will know the answers to these things off the top of their head, but I kinda wanted the option to "test out" of the workshop. It was enjoyable to see a room full of infants, but I didn't really learn anything new.
I will say some of the logistics information was helpful. Things like, "This is how you can request /this/ specific priest." and "Here are your options for Mass times or for baptism after Mass." That information was helpful. But I think all of that information could have been covered in about ten minutes.
Oh well... I now get to ask my sister to become a Godparent. I'm looking forward to that. :)
