Today is Tuesday, October 21st, 2003; Karen's Korner #157

This is something which I received several months ago. I shared it with the Marys and Marthas (M & Ms) a group of Christian gals to which I belong a while back. If your church group isn't represented, you probably belong to one that is similar to one named. This is an opportunity to laugh at ourselves:


CHRISTIANS CHANGING LIGHTBULBS!

How many Christians does it take to change a light bulb?

Charismatics: Only one. Hands already in the air.

Pentecostals: Ten. One to change the bulb, and nine to pray against the
spirit of darkness.

Presbyterians: None. Lights will go on and off at predestined times.

Roman Catholic and Orthodox: None. Candles only.

Baptists: At least 15. One to change the light bulb, and three committees
to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad.

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 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.

Methodists: Undetermined. Whether your light is bright, dull, or
completely out, you are loved -- you can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, or
tulip bulb. Churchwide lighting service is planned for Sunday, August 19.
Bring bulb of your choice and a covered dish.

Nazarene: Six. One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church
lighting policy.

Lutheran: None. Lutherans don't believe in change.

Amish: What's a light bulb?
