AUSTIN, Minn. (ELCA) -- The brick walls and brilliant stained glass
windows here at Our Savior's Lutheran Church are a long way from the
small prayer gatherings that take place under the shelter of trees in
Africa. On Sept. 5, during a regular worship service at Our Savior's, 58
children of African immigrants were baptized into the family of Christ.
