light bulb cliche, but above the norm, even-handed and multi-denominational

How many church members does it take to change a
light bulb?

Charismatic: Only one. Hands already in the air.

Pentecostal: Ten. One to change the bulb, and nine
to pray against the spirit of darkness.

Presbyterians: None. Lights will go on and off at
predestined times.

Roman Catholic: None. Candles only.

Baptists: At least 15. One to change the light
bulb, and three committees to approve the change
and decide who brings the potato salad and fried
chicken.

Episcopalians: Three. One to call the electrician,
one to mix the drinks and one to talk about how
much better the old one was.

Mormons: Five. One man to change the bulb, and
four wives to tell him how to do it.

Unitarians: We choose not to make a statement
either in favor of or against the need for a light
bulb. However, if in your own journey you have
found that light bulbs work for you, that is fine.
You are invited to write a poem or compose a
modern dance about your light bulb for the next
Sunday service, in which we will explore a number
of light bulb traditions, including condescend,
fluorescent, three- way, long-life and tinted, all
of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.

Methodists: Undetermined. Whether your light is
bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved.
You can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, or tulip
bulb. Church wide lighting service is planned for
Sunday. Bring bulb of your choice and a covered
dish.

Nazarene: Six. One woman to replace the bulb while
five men review church lighting policy.

Lutherans: None. Lutherans don't believe in
change.

Amish: What's a light bulb?
