I knew a priest, Episcopal, who said he had been accepted for seminary, was ready to seal the deal, and then discovered that he couldn’t find his baptismal record. He said that he thought, if I’m going to be a priest, I suppose I really ought to have been baptized. They figured it out somehow - I don’t remember the resolution, but I just thought it was funny. You never think about the possibility of a priest not having been baptized, or not able to prove it.

One of my favorite movies is Life with Father, based on the autobiography of Clarence Day.
When it is discovered that he has never been baptized his family set out to correct the oversight. A young Elizabeth Taylor is in the movie.
