Original Toronto Star caption: Outdoor Baptism was performed last Sunday by Rev. Berkley Reynolds in a Scarborough swimming pool. Sandra Honsberger was one of nine members of West Ellesmere United Church who were baptized. The ancient rite essentially requires only some sort of physical contact with water and need not even be performed by a clergyman; writes Prof. R. K. Harrison; of Wycliffe College in the article below.
