How many churchgoers does it take to change
a light bulb?
Charismatic: Only one. Hand's 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: 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 favour 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.
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, October 14. Bring
bulb of your choice and a covered dish.
Nazarene: Six. One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church
lighting policy.
Lutherans: None. Lutherans don't believe in change.
Amish: What's a light bulb?
