I don't have waders, do have a white baptismal robe with weights that is just huge for some reason, and have a baptistry where the water, literally, comes up to my crotch and I'm only 5' 8"! Trying to baptize full-grown adults, especially those over 6 feet in it is ridiculous! I always feel a little bad because every baptism has an element of absudity here. Although, again, perhaps baptism should be a little absurd -- as well as terrifying (as per your Zachary post!!)<br />Blessings to you and the dunked!!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803049148666438704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25030905.post-39201823924684660672007-01-31T09:14:00.000-06:002007-01-31T09:14:00.000-06:00The Presbyterian church we attended in CA had a de...The Presbyterian church we attended in CA had a deal with another church down the street that we could use their baptistry if people wanted to be immersed. Glad you had the option of doing this for someone for whom it was obviously meaningful.<br />The Scientist was raised Baptist, and remembers having to swim (at least tread water) in the baptistry because it was over his head!zorrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301856272073306968noreply@blogger.com
