Prayers - Laughing in Church

LAUGHING IN CHURCH

Mankind is the only species which can tell jokes and laugh at them.

Religion is a serious business, and church
is no place for laughter.

But awkward word configurations combined with the solemnity of religion can have humorous consequences, and I think God would approve of us having a little levity at the missteps and mistakes in church bulletins and other religious documents.

The following may or not be factual errors but they are certainly humorous ones.
