Rick Perry Quietly Baptized to 'Reaffirm His Commitment '
Texas Gov. Rick Perry was baptized in a creek last month during a ceremony observed only by close friends and family — a personal action he took to “reaffirm his commitment” to the Christian faith, according to a spokesperson.
The governor was dunked under the water in the Little Rocky Creek outside Independence, Texas — the same body of water where Sam Houston, the state’s 7th governor, was also baptized in 1854.
