How many Christians does it take to change a light bulb?
Charismatics: Only one. Hands are already in the air.
Pentecostals: Ten. One to change the bulb, and nine to pray against the spirit
of darkness.
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: Three. One to call the electrician, one to mix the drinks
and one to talk about how much better the old one was.
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 light ! bulb for the next
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. A
church-wide lighting service is planned for Sunday. 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.
Presbyterians: None. Lights will go on and off at predetermined times.
Amish: What's a light bulb?
