If You Want to Bring Change Don’t Put the Knife in or Touch any Sore
Points
A Catholic Priest, Protestant Pastor and Jewish Rabbi were all
chaplains at the same university in the USA.
They would meet 2-3 times a week over coffee to tell each other how
they were getting on converting the heathen students.
One day one of them said, “It is all very fine converting these
pagans, but that is easy. I bet you couldn't convert a grizzly bear.”
So they made an agreement that in the next 2 weeks they would each
find a grizzly and try to convert it.
They met two weeks later - at the hospital.
“Well,” said the Catholic priest who was the only one still standing -
but with two broken arms and covered in deep lacerations, “I found my
grizzly and I began to bless him in the name of the blessed virgin.
But it attacked me and I was only just lucky enough to get out my
bottle of holy water which I sprinkled on his forehead and he became
as meek and mild as a lamb. He is going through catechism classes now
and the bishop is coming to confirm him in a couple of weeks.”
“Well,” said the Protestant Pastor who was also covered in lacerations
but was sitting in a wheel chair with two broken legs, “I found my
bear and I began to preach the gospel to him in the name of Jesus but
he attacked me. So I grabbed him and we rolled down the hill wrestling
together until we fell into the river. Then I managed to grab his head
and baptize him in the name of Jesus and he became as meek and mild as
a lamb. He is now doing discipleship classes and is thinking about
going into the ministry.”
Then they looked at the Jewish Rabbi. He was lying almost dead on a
stretcher.
“How did you get on?” they said.
“Well,” he said, “I found my bear alright. But I think that maybe
circumcision wasn't the best place to start.”
