[soc.religion.christian] Occasional oddities

dhosek@sif.claremont.edu (Hosek, Donald A.) (07/30/90)

Chris tacked onto the end of one post: 
>[Have I told you about the incident in which an Episcopal priest
>managed to consecrate and serve shampoo?  --clh]

which reminded me of an anecdote that appears in _What is
Catholicism?_ by Paul Hallett. It seems that a priest at some
point walked into a baker's shop and consecrated all the bread.
(he wasn't explicit about the reason for this, but it apparently
had not been expected by the baker). Does anybody know any other
"odd" anecdotes along these lines? (I hope nobody finds these
offensive or takes them as an excuse to lambaste someone's
religion (Chris, you have my permission to kill this thread
before it starts, if you like)... I see these anecdotes as a
humourous reminder of just how human we all are).
