As I have never heard of Panentheist (the "en" being an extremely important distinction), I headed over to wikipedia. I recognized a few things, it made mention of Open Theism (I've read several things by Greg Boyd on this subject,) and universal reconciliation, which I believe to a certain extent. And opened up a fascinating area of "Process Theology" for future study
I love it when I find new names to call myself, LOL

Well then perhaps you are both Panentheists and will NOT have to raise your child in a divided home.
I have a great friend who is UU... one of the most balanced and completely decent people I know. I myself have looked at Unity (a Christian church with a universalist lean) because there is one local.
I do think that children who are raised without some kind of religious indoctrination are rarely able to see the need for religion later in life. It seems to be a pretty easy leap from one religion to another but the complete lack of religion in youth seems to make it of no importance later in life. So if you have any desire for your child to wind up religious you might want to get some early training in, in some kind of faith system.
Christianity comes with it's own culture and even language and in my experience seems very alien to those without any early exposure. Just something to think about.
