The guys are gonna ask for DETAILS so... i'll do it for them :D lol do you have a layout or anything?
 
I'm just speculating...I don't know how to even go about buying a church, or if it would get destroyed in some kind of natural disaster or something...
 
Churches for sale aren't a dime a dozen, but if you find one that's moving out, buying it wouldn't be much different than buying a house. If you can do it, 'twould be sweet. I saw amazing pics of a church converted into a top-notch studio somewhere. They described the process of doing it too, I'll try and find that link.

:confused: That's what they're called though... baptismal tank
 
I found this at Wikipedia:
The baptismal ceremony

An infant is held over a baptismal font as holy water is poured over the head at a Catholic Church in the United States in 2004

The exact baptismal ceremony varies between Christian denominations; typically, however, parents bring their child to a minister. The minister takes the child from the parents and places the child’s head over a baptistery or font.
 
More at Wiki:
"In Christian architecture the baptistery or baptistry (Latin baptisterium) is the separate centrally-planned structure surrounding the baptismal font. The baptistery may be incorporated within the body of a church or cathedral and be provided with an altar as a chapel. In the early Christian Church, the catechumens were instructed and the sacrament of baptism was administered in the baptistery."

All in all, nowhere near as stunningly funny as the vision of a dunk tank on the altar that you put in my mind :D
I'm still laughing.
no offense, eh?
 
If it has a baptismal, turn it into a vocal booth, might have some nice natural reverb to it, and keep the choir section... you never know when you'll need backup singers.

Good thinkin'. And you can turn the confessional into a vocal booth.

And MAYBE they'll even leave the organ!!!
 
Oh how fricken SWEET would that be to have a studio in a church???? All the height you'd ever need. Tons of volume. Wow, that would be amazing.

:) No offense taken, and keep laughing. I wasn't even the one who originally mentioned the word tank in this thread, and that is a funny picture that you derived from the term. :eek:

I do assure you though, that it is most commonly referred to as a baptismal tank. I won't deny that Catholics might call it a baptismal font, and throw in the words sacrament and catechumens for good measure, but having grown up in several protestant churches, I have never heard that term, and always heard it as a baptismal tank. If you google "baptismal tank" it'll confirm that at least in Protestant circles, that is the most common term.
 
aahh- see. could just be the way we were raised... Iwas raised Catholic :rolleyes:
