| We remodeled ours awhile back to have a built-in baptistry. Couldn't agree with you more.In the past, for us, baptism was something we did at someone's pool when it was warm out. Not many would come. Then, after we built the baptistry, we started having baptisms regularly after service. Still, not many would stay. |

| Baptistries are also expensive.I saw a portable baptistery that looked like it was made out of pipe and some sort of cloth or flexible plastic material that a Seafarers ministry uses to baptize fishermen at the local international port they use |

| I don't think an empty baptistry disciples that many people, unless of course you seat them inside the baptistry for Sunday School classes.I would not construct a baptistry in a new building. Far easier, and cheaper, to use rivers and the ocean or, as another poster mentioned, to wheel in a portable tank Senior Pastor, Solid Rock Church, DroghedaNational Overseer, Church of God, IrelandExecutive Director, Evangelical Alliance Irelandhttp://eaiseanchai.wordpress.com/ |
