[Magdalen] All on the same day

[Scott Knitter]

#3 was the winner. Sloane was baptized, and surprise, surprise, so was
her father. In a nondenominational mini-megachurch (megachurch-style
stage worship; not-so-mega size). Separate baptisms after the last
service. Done ultra-simply by trained lay church members...couple of
key questions, then backwards dunk in the pool. Then off to lunch at
the baptizands' home.

I noticed on their church blog a testimony by a member who was
baptized as an RC but baptized again at this church as an adult.
