We have just celebrated the baptism of 4 Roma guys. You can see them in the distance in white. 120 came from across Luton and from afar for a service that lasted over four hours. The absence of an order of service makes it possible to wait for as long as necessary for the presence of the Spirit to be powerful enough for the baptism to proceed. Just before we got in the full immersion font, photos galore were taken by everyone of the four candidates, just like at a wedding. For a moment I thought this would turn the worship into a Hollywood set. In fact the photographing became somehow part of the liturgy. Extraordinary.
