    An essay on why foot washing (washing of the saints’ feet) should remain a valuable practice for Original Free Will Baptists and Christianity. In this essay, I explore the ministerial implications foot washing has for identity formation, tradition, and community building. I suggest that foot washing is a visible and physical reminder of what our responsibilities are as Christians. Foot washing requires us to be weak for the sake of others, thus reminding us of the humility of Christ.
