Regarding the report on Shepton Mallet Baptist Church:
I am being picky here. However, Baptist churches do not have a font
of any description. "Baptismal pool" is the usual designation.
Also, Baptists practise "believers' baptism" which is not always
necessarily "adult baptism." It is always an issue of great debate
as to how old a person has to be to make a statement of faith.
So that's me on my soapbox. Sorry to be so picky.
Revd Simon Russell
[Editor's note: The word "font" was not used by the reporter
(Aileen) but rather was chosen by the editor. The reference has
been reworded to conform more closely to the reporter's original
language.]
