Press Release
Cars washed in Holy water.
Sunday 14th May 2006.
Members of a Manchester church are cleaning cars with Holy water. In an attempt to be environmentally friendly and serve the community, church attendees will use the water from the morning’s Baptismal service to wash local vehicles.
The Baptistry pool where a young person is to be baptised by full immersion at 11am holds a number of gallons of water which the church are keen not to simply pull the plug on afterwards. Invitations to have a free car wash have been sent to local residents and the churchgoers will clean cars at 1pm.
Minister of Levenshulme Baptist Church, Ian Spence said “We are pleased to offer a different kind of service to the community. I can’t promise however that the cars will run problem free as a result of the special water used”.
