Speaking of getting down into the "cesspool" how about this United Pentecostal congregation wading out into an oil spill to baptize some folks:

"In the waters off Grand Isle, La., members of the United Pentecostal Church of Gretna, La., watch as Pastor Vidal Galvez baptizes two members of his church. He and his followers intended to go to the public beach, but it was closed due to the oil spill. The bay waters are still considered safe for swimming and fishing.
