Proud parents bring a newborn to the front of the church auditorium. Words are spoken. Faith is confessed. A hymn sung. And water poured, sprinkled on the head of the infant.
Much joy is present.
Perhaps you've seen it with an adult. As with the parents bringing the baby, questions are asked and answered. Water on the convert's head. Again there is much joy. Again thanksgiving is raised to God, and congratulations offered to the recipient.
