In December I attended the baptism of one of my good friends from a neighboring tribe. I watched her sober face as she knelt and said her vows, and thought back to my own baptism day. For me, it was a joyful day full of praise and thanksgiving. I loved God with all my heart, and had only a dim realization of the magnitude of what I was promising. I think the seriousness of her vows was far more real to my Kenyan friend. For me, to put on a covering was to be one with my peer group. For her, it meant to stand out from everyone in her peer group…
