You would be AMAZED at how many - especially in the Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio region - have asked to be baptized in 'running' water.

Not sure why it's that way in those areas (I'm sure it's elsewhere, too). Usually they are fine with a Church facility once the real element of baptism is explained to them.
