Using this method, the candidate sits on the built-in seat while the
minister stands behind the baptistry in a dry area. The weight of the candidate
is on the seat and thus requires little effort on the minister to lay the person
backward beneath the water. With this baptistry, the candidate will feel much
more secure sitting than standing and is especially ideal for one who has a fear
of water or for one who is large or handicapped. The minister will also
appreciate this baptistry because he can be back in the pulpit immediately
without having to change clothes. The big bonus is that the baptistry costs less
than the conventional models and requires less than half the water. It requires
less than half the energy to heat and maintain a preset temperature and less
than half the time to fill and heat before a service.
