01/19/2003 Entry: "Church bras"

Tonight I've been at an ecumenical service as part of the celebration of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. I was told this story, and had to share it:

A man went into the lingerie department of a well-known store and approached a sales assistant with a slightly embarrassed look. "I want to buy a bra for my wife.""What sort of bra?""You mean there's more than one kind?"The assistant gestured towards hundreds of different bras, in every size, shape, colour and material."So how do I choose?""Between you and me, sir, there are really only 4 types of bra. There's the Roman Catholic, the Salvation Army, the Methodist and the Anglican.""I don't understand.""It's simple, Sir. The Roman Catholic supports the Masses. The Salvation Army lifts up the fallen. The Methodist organises the unruly.""And the Anglican?""The Anglican makes mountains out of molehills, sir."
