Not that I'm aware of, 4get.

I mean, why?
my family are vicars curates ect,and a vicar would like godparents to be christened but you dont have to be .
when I had my daughter christened, the vicar went mental at me because on of the godparents was not christened and the other was not of the same faith. I nearly wet meself with fear after the dressing down he gave me.................................but he christened her all the same with these demon godparents!!
Depends what faith and vicar/church also sometimes.

My son was baptised catholic and at least one godparent had to be practicing catholic. We had to have two long meetings with vicar beforehand. Dont think CofE is quite as strict!

Having read your other post 4get, I think if your not comfortable doing it, say know, it doesnt mean you wont be there for the child.

Good luck with your tough decision.
I think its ok if they are not - you don't even have to have godparents if you don't want to.
As my sister is a Lay Reader in the Church of England i would
say Yes to God Parents to be Christened. My sister is busy with the prayers for the service on Sunday.
