The card, called What Dads Add includes ideas for giving spiritual care, prayers and an explanation of the Baptism promises as well as affirming the role of a father. It will also promote a website, due to go live in the next couple of weeks, www.whatdadsadd.co.uk which will give further resources and ideas for Dads and churches.
The Rt Rev Nick Baines, Bishop of Croydon and father of three grown-up children, said: "Recent surveys on praying and belief have shown that many people in this country have a strong personal spiritual life.
"However the results of this survey have encouraged us with parents expressing a consistent sense of responsibility for the souls of their children.
"We don't know exactly what people envisage when they think about spiritual care but we hope these cards become one small way in which the church offers support to parents who express their faith by having their child baptised."
The Rev Lynda Barley, Head of Research and Statistics for the Church of England, said: "Men want to contribute to the spiritual upbringing of their children as much as women. The number who strongly agreed that they, as parents, were responsible for the spiritual care of their child is amazingly high and surprisingly consistent across the country.
"The survey has reminded us that we need to do all we can to help these dads and mums to get involved in the spiritual development of their children. They are both needing and open to support in this area."
The Church of England survey was carried out by ICM Research, with 1,018 adults polled by telephone. They were asked to imagine they were a parent if they did not have children and were then asked: "To what extent would you agree or disagree with the following statement: I feel a responsibility for the spiritual care of my children?"
