Reply #14: I am reminded of a retired Episcopal bishop who summered on Long Island. [View All]

One Sunday he confirmed a bunch of people at my parish. At the dinner for the vestry and clergy of the archdeanery that afternoon, after the roast leg of lamb, the bananas foster and 1 bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape each, over the port, he just smiled and held his glass towards the afternoon sun and said in a tired voice "You know, ladies and gentlemen, religion is a lot like alcohol, both are fine when taken in moderation. . ." After his nap, he said, "Reading the Book of Revelations has been proven to induce insanity in the weak-willed."

One of the best Sundays I have ever had!

The name of the his see is undisclosed to protect the elderly Episcopal bishops of the world!
