He is precious Barb. You don't have to apologize for using the term "godson". Being a multicultural congregation I often have "godparents" who stand with the parents at a baby dedication. At the last one we had a whole group of young people who were good friends of the mother standing with the parents for the ceremony.

A godparent is simply a good friend or friends who pledge to be supportive of the parents and the child through prayer and spiritual guidance that will aid them in developing into a strong Christian as they come of age. I like the concept myself.
