The use of passive voice by lawyers is usually a sign of obfuscation, as well.
No one baptized Obama
The United Church of Christ is the old Congregational Church after its merger with the Evangelical and Reformed Church in about 1958. If the UCC kept the tenets of the old Congregational Church after the merger, adult converts (new members) were baptised by “Affirmation of Faith” and it was done as a group. It was an oral promise in front of the congregation — no water, no oil, no hands on. I became a Catholic about that time, so I don’t know what happened with the Congregational Churches that went along with the merger and became UCC.
The main distinction of the old Congregational Church was that it had NO CREED. Everybody could believe as much, or as little, of the Christian teachings as they saw fit. Each church operated independently with no Bishop, or Presbytery overseeing them. Some Congregational Churches did not go along with the merger and remained independent.

There’s a boatload of ugly in that picture, in every possible way.
