Sure she tries to gloss over this in the next sentence, but oh I think she's onto something. Maybe you need to include a firearm in the drive-by baptismal formula. Shoot em, then douse em. That's the way to a true conversion!
Now if it had said "Chrisendom is over" or "Chrisendom has bit the dust and gone the way of the dodo", then perhaps that might have been particularly good news. ;-)
I am New Testament Tutor for St Mellitus College and St Paul's Theological Centre, London. In my postgraduate research (under the supervision of Max Turner) I’m working on a thesis that concerns the christological significance of the language Paul used to describe the relationship between risen Lord and believer. My blog, Chrisendom, is primarily occupied with biblical and theological themes – especially those Apostle Paul shaped, but I try as best as I can to squeeze in a decent amount of inappropriate baloney on the way. For more about me, click here for my interview with biblioblogs' Jim West.

Whoops. I meant "they were baptised alive."
Sorry for the misquote. It should make perfect sense now. (Kinda like the article)
That was far too bleak a read for a monday morning (sorry, just catching up with various blogs today)
Can we please have something a bit more cheery next time?
