Geoff:
Speaking as another UK evangelical who worships in a Baptist church, 
most children (*if* they are presented to God) are, in the CofE or RC 
churches, christened quite early or dedicated in the free churches. I 
think that most churches are prepared to welcome children at an older 
age as you say.

The sad part is that so many families do not follow this today.
