I had a dream this morning that I was in our sanctuary preparing to baptize a man – probably in his mid to late thirties. This, in and of itself, is not weird, the odd thing was that this guy was Jewish and it was very apparent he was not giving up his Judaism in the baptism. Also there was a huge buffet set up behind the baptismal tank and the entire surrounding floor was crammed with jewish relatives celebrating and creating a joyous chaos.

 

The mode of baptism was very specific – I was to use a big, wide, glass bowl filled with water and pour it on his head. The bowl we were going to use ended up being filled with cole slaw on the buffet table and somebody had to run and wash it out but eventually the baptism did happen to much rejoicing – then I woke up. Very odd dream and I’m not sure where it came from.
