Rolling, light in contrast and imagery Dip Flock To Wash Out Sin. A big congregation of American Americans takes a chilly dip into the salty waters of Hampton roads in a shouting, singing mass baptism. Over-wrought 'converts' give way to hysteria while they seek to 'drown the devil.' African American, adult baptism.
