Baptism

My father was Baptized yesterday–it was a great experience to take part in it. One elderly parishoner at St. Paul’s spoke with me afterwards and told me that I’d managed something he was never able to accomplish, his parents it seems, always told him he was full of Sh**, and both died unbaptized.

Only Jesus saves, but the incorporation into Christ’s body of another believer is always wonderful, especially a member of one’s own family.
