parents and the church of the divine gift of birth and the responsibility of parents that results from it. Practice by denomination Baptist Churches Many Baptist Churches contain rites for child dedication, in which parents commit to raise their children "in the fear and nurture of the Lord." Methodist Churches Many Methodist denominations, such as the Free Methodist Church and Allegheny Wesleyan Methodist Connection, practice infant baptism for families who desire it for their children, but provide a rite for child dedication for those who have a preference for credobaptism only after their child has made a personal acceptance of Jesus as his/her saviour. Woman's Christian Temperance Union The Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) conducts a White Ribbon Recruit (WRR) ceremony, in which babies are dedicated to the cause of temperance through a white ribbon being tied to their wrists, with their adult sponsors pledging to help the child live a life free from alcohol and other drugs.
