Baptism

A group of leaders in the Presbyterian Church met in Scotland for a religious conference. On a warm summer’s afternoon they went off to explore the beautiful countryside. Coming to a temporary bridge that spanned a swift-running stream, they started confidently to cross it. When they were half way over, the bridge keeper suddenly appeared and hollered that the bridge had been declared unsafe. One of the Church members didn’t quite understand the warning and called back, “It’s all right, my friend, we’re from the conference, we’re the Presbyterians.” To which the bridge keeper shouted back, “If you don’t get off the bridge this minute you’ll all be Baptists!”
