Water baptism by fire . . . hose. I have heard of water baptism, and baptism by fire, but never water baptism by fire hose.

The service was meant as a symbol of prayer for healing for the community rather than as an actual baptism.
Judas go home. I am getting a little tired of people releasing books and movies attacking the Christian faith in the weeks just prior to or following Easter. The latest offering? “The Gospel According to Judas Written by Benjamin Iscariot.” This is a fictional work rewriting the gospels from the narrative viewpoint of Judas’ son.
