Subject: The "Perfect" Pastor
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The weekly bulletin from a local church included the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ideal pastor preaches exactly 10 minutes. He condemns sin, but
|
||
|
|
never hurts anyone's feelings. He works from 8AM to midnight, and
|
||
|
|
also serves as the church janitor. He makes $40 a week, wears good
|
||
|
|
clothes, and donates $30 a week to the church. He is 29 years old and
|
||
|
|
has 40 years of experience. He makes 15 house calls a day and is
|
||
|
|
always in his office.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If your pastor does not measure up to these criteria, send this list
|
||
|
|
to six other churches that are also dissatisfied with their pastor.
|
||
|
|
Then, bundle up your pastor and send him to the church at the top of
|
||
|
|
the list. In one week you will receive 1,643 pastors. Surely one of
|
||
|
|
them will be perfect. Have faith in this letter. One church broke
|
||
|
|
the chain and got its old pastor back in three months.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The bulletin cites it as "copied," but gives no reference as to the
|
||
|
|
source.
