"Religions And Fire"
During a recent ecumenical gathering, a secretary
rushed in shouting, "The building is on fire!"
The METHODISTS gathered in the corner and
prayed.
The BAPTISTS cried, "Where is the water?"
The QUAKERS quietly praised G-d for the
blessings that fire bring.
The LUTHERANS posted a notice on the door
declaring the fire was evil.
The ROMAN CATHOLICS passed the plate to
cover the damage.
The JEWS posted symbols on the doors hoping
the fire would pass.
The CONGREGATIONALISTS shouted, "Every
man for himself!"
The FUNDAMENTALISTS proclaimed, "It's the
vengeance of G-d!"
The EPISCOPALIANS formed a procession
and marched out.
The CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS concluded that
there was no fire.
The PRESBYTERIANS appointed a chairperson
who was to appoint a committee to look into the
matter and submit a written report.
The secretary grabbed the fire extinguisher
and put the fire out.
