In this video, we look at the prices for baptism at various Eastern Orthodox Churches. Today, following a viral post by Eastern Orthodox apologist Jay Dyer, the internet world debated whether or not churches should charge for baptism. I did not know this, but apparently, the Eastern Orthodox churches regularly charge both members and non-members for baptismal services. So here's the question: how much did you pay to get baptized? Should you have to pay at all?
