Part of my job is to review drawings, to decide if we should bid a project or not.

This struck me as strange:



What 'denomination' is this?

Hint: They do not have another baptismal font in the Sanctuary / Chapel.

Nope.

Whatever I'm supposed to be seeing, is not there.

No.

Do the AoG and Church of Christ have a setup like this?

Pca?

Is that Mormon? And that is the "Baptism for the Dead Ancestors Room".

What can I say, I like blogs!

Neither the AoG nor the Church of Christ have a baptismal font. They have baptistries (dunking tanks).

Something that came out Methodism???

Nah, Methodist fonts are in the sanctuary.

That's it!

Technically it's: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

They can't do their Proxy Baptisms for the Dead in this font because it's not in one of their Temples, nor supported by 12 oxen.

It seems strange that they would baptize in a little classroom instead in the big Chapel, but then again, a lot of things strike me as strange concerning the Mormons.

Know what's funny. I looked at the plans and kept thinking, 'Surely this is an inset and there are sanctuary walls that are missing from the clip. Either that our the architect is a doof.' I just never imagined that the baptistry was tucked away like that. I assumed that the CMU walls weren't exterior. Sometimes I see that.

It's also strange that this 'font' is a walk-in with stairs, but the water level is only 3 feet deep. Kind of a cross between a font and a dunking tank.

I can't figure out how they do it. They don't dunk - it's too shallow for that, I wouldn't think that they pour - seems like a lot of wasted water and tile for pouring.

It's a weird building for a "church", they're even got one room dedicated to nothing but their "Relief Society"

Its probably some strange ritual derived from Masonic ritual combined with Zoroastrianism, Romanic Gypsy, and Aztec oddities. Are there any custom tiles with Reformed Egyptian Hieroglyphs to be included in the surround?

maybe they stand in the pool and splash each other?

Unfortunately I don't have the interior design specifics. Usually I get those, but not with this job, strange....

Here's a section at the "font":

This shows a shallow pool.

Well, you can immerse in three feet of water. I've done it. I prefer deeper water. It is easier on the back.

I did immersions in cattle feed troughs in the Army.

That linked picture is shallow. And, although it doesn't show the room. It sure doesn't appear to be in a very sanctuary like space.

Creepy.

That's what I thought when I was looking over the drawings.

Notice the windows in the "font".

Hmm. Are you sure it's not really a hot tub?

I also noticed the windows. What's with that?
