Right now, many churches are planning their budgets for the next fiscal year.

You can promote your confessional Lutheran Church and support the World Wide Outreach

of Issues, etc. by becoming a congregational sponsor.

When your church pledges $1,000, we'll publicize your congregation on the podcast, at our

website, and in the Issues, etc. journal.

Learn more on the support donate page at issuesetc.org.

Don't miss your congregation's budget deadline, become an Issues, etc.

Perhaps you have heard the argument against the mode of baptism, which is usually called

sprinkling, that the Greek word for baptism or washing in this case always means to dip

or to immerse.

So why do so many Christians not practice that particular mode of baptism?

Some do.

There's nothing wrong with it, but many don't.

Welcome back to Issues, etc.

I'm Todd Wilkin.

That's burned by a listener question on that word, the Greek word for baptism.

Part of the questions we'll be dealing with here is we go through listener email and

the Issues, etc., comment line, our email address.

Talk back at issuesetc.org and the comment line 618-223-8382.

Let's begin with Michael.

Thank you for your recent two-part series on Lutheran Mental Illness with Dr. Steven Saunders.
