This film was made from b/w Super 8mm footage that William Ferris gathered in rural Mississippi in 1968. The film includes footage from rural church services and a full immersion baptism.

  • We still sing that last song in my church today! The words are....

    Jesus said if you go

    I'll go with you

    Preach my gospel

    I speak for you

    Lord if I go

    Tell me what to say

    They want believe in me

    I'm amazed this song is so old!

    No, because The Bible says to baptize.

  • @bentonyclark1 Thanks for the tip, Holland isn´t that far away...would be worth a visit!!! God bless you!

  • @bucaneromax1

    I go to a church that is exactly this. Its in Nimegen, in holland and the church is called " De Deur" .Its open to all races of people. If you get there then im called Ben so ask for me.

  • @Nayelle1290 life insurance? you gotta be kidding me

  • @Nayelle1290 noooooooooo, the reason baptism is so common among african americans is because baptism was the most common religion of white southern slave owners, (and white southerners in general)

  • @Nayelle1290 um yea, i get it. so what

  • @Nayelle1290 to me, and to millions of other americans it does. if europeans think its exotic, good for them.

  • I was stationed in Mississippi's Meridian Navy/Marine Air Field in the early 80's and was fortunate enough to have attended a service much like this. It was a small Baptist church located somewhere in between Meridian and Jackson. The bus picked up servicemen at the base for Sunday morning services. It was a escape and we all enjoyed it!

  • I'm 64 years old. This is how they use to have CHURCH when I was a child. I'm fortunately enough to have lived in MY LIFE TIME to be able to have expereance this great tradition. PEACE!!!!!!!

  • Thank you soooo much for sharing this video! This totally reminds me of the church in the country that my many generations of family are members of. I am in awe. Thank you
