BAPTISING your daughter by full immersion inside a toybox makes for a rather unusual last act of church service.

That is what Rev Adam Pymble, Curate of All Saints in Lindfield, did for his daughter Heidi on October 19. Adam, his wife Kate and five children have left the church following three years of ministry to explore church planting opportunities with Trinity Church Islington in North London as part of the evangelical movement, Capital Vision 2020.

With thanks to Peter Ford for this report.
