Next, join us later the same day for our first ever De-baptism and Dinner event! This deliciously blasphemous event will be held in the banquet room at Al Baker's restaurant
in Eagan, MN (off Yankee Doodle and 35E) at 4:00 p.m. Participants who get de-baptized will receive a pleasant burst of warm air under the Hair Dryer of Reason which will symbolically dry off erstwhile baptismal water. Participants will also receive a certificate recognizing their renunciation of their past baptism. If you have no baptism to renounce you can still fully participate to confirm your rejection of religious faith and archaic fairy tales for an acceptance of reason. Enjoy cocktails during the ceremony and partake in a godless communion, from Al Baker's menu, with your freethinking brethren (and sistren) afterward. More details on Minnesota Atheists Meet Up site.
