The Building is on Fire

At the start
of a meeting of world religious leaders,
a secretary rushed
in shouting. "The building is on fire"!
The Methodists gathered in a corner and prayed
The Baptists cried, "Where is the water?"
The Quakers quietly praised God for the blessings that fire brings
The Lutherans posted a fire notice on the door
The Catholics passed the plate to cover the damage
The Jews held a special observance.
The Congregationalists shouted "Every man for himself!"
The Fundamentalists proclaimed "It's the vengeance of God"
The Episcopalians formed a procession and marched out
The Christian Scientists concluded that there was no fire.
The Unitarians proclaimed the fire had no power over them.
The Presbyterians appointed a chairperson to appoint a committee to
look into the matter and submit a written report.
The secretary grabbed the fire extinguisher and put the fire out.
And the Mormons arrived late for the meeting and missed the fire
completely.
