A Little Ecumenical Humor
How many church people does it take to change a light bulb?
Charismatics: Only one.
Hands already in the air.
Roman Catholics: None
They use candles.
Pentecostals: Ten
One to change the bulb, and nine to pray against the spirit of darkness.
Presbyterians: None
God has predestined when the lights will be on and off.
Episcopalians: Eight
One to call the electrician, and seven to say how much they
liked the
old one better.
Mormons: Five
One man to change the bulb, and four wives to tell him how to do it.
Unitarians:
We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against
the need
for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that light
bulbs work for you, that is fine. You are invited to write a poem or
compose a modern dance about your personal relationship with your light
bulb, and present it next month at our annual light bulb Sunday service, in
which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions including
incandescent, fluorescent, three-way, long-life and tinted, all of which
are equally valid paths to luminescence.
Baptists: At least 15
One to change the light bulb, and two or three committees
to approve the
change. Oh, and also provide a casserole.
Lutherans: None.
Lutherans don't believe in change.
Methodists: 10
One to change the bulb. Nine to attack the preacher, because
someone's
grandmother gave that bulb to the church!
