Sorry, but Christening and Baptizing are the same rite. I believe the verb christen means to make a person a part of Christendom. The New Collegiate dictionary presents Baptize as the first meaning of Christen.

That may well be what the dictionary says ... but there is a great theological difference. Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.
