A bear in the woods....
|
A bear in the woods.... A Catholic Priest, a Baptist Preacher and a Rabbi all served as Chaplains in northern Ontario . They would meet frequently to talk shop. The comment was made that preaching to people was fairly easy; a real challenge would be to preach to a bear! They decided to experiment. All 3 would go into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it to their religion. 7 days later, the 3 men met. Father Flannery, who had his arm in a sling, was on crutches, and had bandages on his body, began: 'Well,' he said, 'I went to find a bear. When I found him, I read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear began to slap me around, so I grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and he became as gentle as a lamb. The Bishop is coming to give him first communion. Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, & had his arms and legs in casts. He exclaimed, 'Brothers, I went out and I found a bear; then I read to him from The Bible, but that bear wanted nothing to do with me. I took hold of him and we began to wrestle, until we came to a creek. I quickly dunked and baptized him. He became as gentle as a lamb. Hallelujah! The Priest and the Reverend looked down at the Rabbi, lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction - IVs and monitors running in and out of him, in really bad shape. The Rabbi looked up and said: "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start." |
