Church Feud

Printer-friendly versionSend by email

An amusing news story from Wales told of a feud in a church looking for a new pastor. It read: “Yesterday the two opposition groups both sent ministers to the pulpit. Both spoke simultaneously, each trying to shout above the other. Both called for hymns, and the congregation sang two—each side trying to drown out the other. Then the groups began shouting at each other. Bibles were raised in anger. The Sunday morning service turned into a bedlam. Through it all, the two preachers continued trying to out shout each other with their sermons. “Eventually a deacon called a policeman. Two came in and shouting for the congregation to be quiet. They advised the forty persons in the church to return home. The rivals filed out, still arguing. Last night one of the group called a let’s-be-friends’ meeting. It broke up in argument.” The item was headlined, “Hallelujah! Two Jacks in One pulpit.” It could have been bannered, “Two Factions in One fellowship.”
