BURY ALL THE BAPTISTS
There were two churches in the community, a Methodist church and a Baptist church. The Baptists were temporarily without a pastor when a deacon of the church died. The family asked the Methodist pastor if he would conduct the funeral service. This was his first year in the ministry and the Methodist pastor felt he needed approval from the bishop of the area. So he sent a telegram asking” “May I have approval to bury a Baptist deacon?” The bishop quickly replied with a telegram reading: “Bury all the Baptists you can!”
