served as Chaplains to the students of
Northern Michigan University at Marquette in the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan.
They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk
shop.
One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really
all that hard, a real challenge would be to preach to a bear.
One thing led to another, and they decided to do an experiment. They would
all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to
convert
it to their religion.
Seven days later, they all came together to discuss their experiences.
Father Flannery, who had his arm in a sling, was on crutches, and had
various bandages on his body and limbs, went first.
'Well,' he said, 'I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I
found him, I began to read to him from the Catechism.
Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around.
So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of
God,
he became as gentle as a lamb. The Bishop is coming out next week to give
him first communion and confirmation.'
Reverend Billy Bob the Baptist spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, had one
arm and both legs in casts, and had an IV drip.
In his best fire-and-brimstone oratory, he exclaimed, 'WELL, brothers, you
KNOW that we Baptists don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And
then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted
nothing to do with me.
So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill,
UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quickly DUNKED
him
and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle
as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus. Hallelujah!
Now, was Pastor Bob turn to speak, but his left arm was bandage up,
Pastor Bob said, I also too walked into the woods at sun rise and the Lord
bless me with a bear in my path.
I raised the bible and started to preach and the bear attack me and bit my
left hand off.
But, I sprinkle holy water in his face and he calm down and sat down.
So, I preach and preach more, it was beautiful how the power of God touch
his heart.
Can I hear a, A Men brothers!!!
Then, the Priest and the Reverend both looked down at the Rabbi, who was
lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IVs and
monitors
running in and out of him. He was in really bad shape.
"How did it go?" they asked.
The Rabbi looked up and said, "Looking back on it, circumcision may not
have been the best way to start.
Laughing.
