Uh, no.
Guess I've got some research to do, then. . .
I'm wondering about John the Baptist, who was a Jew and, well, a Baptist. In that time there were many Jews who were baptising. But perhaps that tradition hasn't carried through time, especially since Christians picked it up.

Can one of the moderators move this over into the general thread, so we don't have to feel guilty?
