Photograph caption dated August 1, 1964 reads, "Members of the Baptist Church baptize only by immersion. Above, Dr. Harold L. Frickett, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Van Nuys, largest Baptist Church on the West Coast, immerses Larry Fraize, 15, and Renee Fraize, 12. Baptists regard baptism as a public confession of Christian faith and a symbol of the burial and resurrection of Christ."; See images #00032064 and #00032065 for all photos in this series.
