My low church Protestant baptism did not include an exorcism prayer. Or much else forOne of many reasons I’m thankful that my priest decided to receive me into the Orthodox Church by baptism. That liturgy is so much deeper and richer than the low church version.

It’s up to the bishop not your priest but I’m glad you got a real baptism too!

My bishop at the time was the Patriarch of Antioch. Thankfully we have a local bishop again now.

I’m pretty sure trying to explain the nuances of American non-denominational churches to the Patriarch would have been a tall order. And then he’d just say “baptize the heathen!” 😂

Not a tall order at all!
