role of the godparent

The idea for eGodparent came from a conversation between Peter West and his old friend, Chris Bain, about how poorly they fulfilled their Godparental responsibilities towards each other's children.

They quickly saw that the Internet was the perfect medium for:

• bringing together information about what Godparenting means and sharing experiences
• operating a reminder service for Godchildren's birthdays etc
• recommending appropriate gifts that children would appreciate

They scoured the Internet to see what was already available and found precious little other than some Christening gift shops and a site called Godparent.org, which is about a home for pregnant teenagers in the Blue Ridge Mountains! And so eGodparent was born.
