My first experience (Sandy Curtis, Redeemer, Addison,NY) was carried off with such panache I could accept the vivid ceremony. I am reminded of the dry dustiness of places where people have no socks, where open sandals expose feet to dangers and indignities of rough ground, where cleanliness is a rare blessing. Those people are my brothers & sisters in Christ; my widow's mite must be shared to bring them precious water. Fascinating sermon w/references to foot-washing.
