Title: Baptisms at Princess Vlei, Grassy Park, Cape Town
Subject: Grassy Park (Cape Town, South Africa), Western Cape (South Africa), Rites and ceremonies, Religion, Apartheid, Christianity,
Description: "This is what John the Baptist used to do", the short, intense man standing in the waist-deep water of Princess Vlei cried in an impassioned voice. He added: "There is no more John the Baptist, but Archbishop slingers is here." Handing his long white cross to a white-coated assistant, he turned toward a group of faithful follows shivering in the water around him. The World Wide Soul Clinic Crusade was about to baptise a new batch of converts. A long warm-up on shore, including fervent confessions by mean and women who said they had led lives of sin and then found Jesus, rocking to the tune of a five-piece jazz band, and a sermon by the ebullient Mr Slingers had preceded the dunkings. The confessors and band were aided by two large loud-speakers. When the weather is inclement, or transport to the vlei cant be arranged, ceremonies are performed in a bathtub in the movement's church. Weekend Argus was welcomed to the ceremony because "more people read the newspaper than the Bible, so they will help us spread the word," according to Mr Slingers. He blessed the cameras, film and photographer. As the jazz band blares its rollicking rhythms the members of the congregation clap, shout, dance, clasp hands, and raise faces and voices headwards in joyful thanksgiving. Tears run down the face of an old woman. Another smiles and nods to those about her. Occasionally, moved by her spirit of the music and joy around him, a man leaps in front of the crowd. When it is over, and all is quiet, there is an air like a simmering cauldron as happiness and peace of mind mingle and bubble in the atmosphere.
