The sounds from silence

New life from the rubble
When people of faith think of christenings, it usually conjures up an image involving infants, parents, godparents, in a church setting, with a clergyman, sacramental oil and water and more. When the U.S. Navy plans a christening, it’s about celebrating a different kind of new life—a ship fresh out of the yard and ready for launch—complete with a big bottle of bubbly, military brass, dignitaries and the media.
