baptisms

Sunday nite
3 baptisms
pool spot lit
rainbow coloured back cloth, sign of spring life in our midst
rose petals in water, placed by the community, a gift, a sacrament of communal love

I talked about extreme discipleship;
do you follow Christ?
do you repent of your sins?
do you renounce evil?
the call to risk, to growth, to stretch,
in contrast to Christianity lite, sweet, fluffy, and with no substance

allie eagle and me

"Allie eagle and me" a film by Briar March, is being shown at Opawa Baptist, 4 pm, Sunday 19th September. This 55 minute (Christchurch film festival movie this year) follows feminist separatist turned Christian artist Allie Eagle. The film is the true story of how Christianity changes lives and politics. Good coffee, free pop corn and possibly a discussion with Allie Eagle to conclude.
