Baptism at Brookwood

With much joy one of the councilors gave his life to Christ last night in St. Andrew's, Camp Brookwood. A wonderful friend and great big guy who throws just about as wicked a dodge ball shot as his rector. The service was from the BAS service book and conducted inside the church for the Liturgy of the Word and for the examination. We then went outside for the blessing of the water and the baptism itself. All was set up on this consecrated ground complete with font and Pascal Candle, which stayed lit.

Here are some images, without the congregation which was mostly behind the camera. In many of the images you'll see the fellow councilors at camp along with this week's chaplain, The Rev'd Peter Gillies.
