certainly a good idea to replace the first four pews with plush bucket

The young priest quietly nodded in response to
the older priest's compliment.
The elder continued, 'And you told me a little more beat to the music
would bring young people back to church, so I supported you when you
brought in that rock 'n roll gospel choir. We were packed to the
balcony!'

are open to the new ideas of youth.'
'Well,' said the older priest, 'I'm afraid, however, you've gone just a
bit too far with the drive-through confessional.
'But, Father,' protested the young fellow, 'my confessions have nearly
doubled since I began that!'
I know, my son,' replied the old man, 'but the flashing neon sign, 'Toot
'n' Tell or Go to Hell' CANNOT stay on the church roof.'
