Yeah, I'm sure. I even checked with my lady wife, who checked with the
child's parents. If it was a hallucination, it was mass hallucination.
Now what I'm not certain of is how mainstream this nominally Baptist
Church was, with its Bishop, etc. I gather this is not common among the
larger Baptist congregations. One of the images burned forever in my
memory is the sight of a sign above a storefront church in Brooklyn as
we used to pass it on the elevated "J" train, when I was a kid. It read,
"The Glorious Church of the Pentecostal Holiness of God in Jesus Christ,
Incorporated, Bishop W.L. Peebles, Pastor". That was not identified as a
Baptist Church, but the church that held the christening in question
reminded me of that experience, for all that it _was_ identified as a
Baptist Church.

I think it's pretty funny! At least you know it was true love!
