The doors of the church closed behind me as the congregation quieted for the baptismal service. Shivering, a woman stepped into the water. The pastor plunged her under. She came up shouting. I thought, Finally, a church with some Spirit.

Eyes heavenward, she announced, “That water’s cold!”

I sighed deeply.
