• Charismatics
• Only one. Hands already in the air.
• Roman Catholics
• None. They use candles.
• Pentecostals
• Ten. One to change the bulb, and nine to pray against the spirit of darkness.
• Presbyterians
• None. God has predestined when the lights will be on and off.
• Episcopalians
• Eight. One to call the electrician, and seven to say how much they liked the old one better.
• 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 personal relationship with your light bulb, and present it next month at our annual Light Bulb Sunday Service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, three-way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.
• Baptists
• At least 15. One to change the light bulb, and two or three committees to approve the change. Oh, and also one to provide a casserole.
• Lutherans
• None. Lutherans don't believe in change.
