The first time we published this story there were three churches ... Now we have four churches and a synagogue. Everything gets updated.
There were four churches and a synagogue in a small town:
a Presbyterian church, a Baptist church, a Methodist church, a Catholic church
and a Jewish synagogue. Each church and
the synagogue had a problem with squirrels.
The Presbyterian Church called a meeting to decide what
to do about their squirrels. After much
prayer and consideration they determined the squirrels were predestined to be
there and they shouldn’t interfere with God’s divine will.
At the Baptist church the squirrels had taken an interest
in the baptistery. The deacons met and
decided to put a water slide on the baptistery and let the squirrels drown
themselves. The squirrels liked the
slide and, unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim so twice as many
squirrels showed up the following week.
The Methodist church decided that they were not in a
position to harm any of God’s creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and
set them free near the Baptist Church. Two
weeks later the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water slide.
But the Catholic Church came up with a very creative
strategy. They baptized all the
squirrels and consecrated them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and
Easter.
Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue. They took one squirrel and circumcised him. They haven’t seen a squirrel since.
