I’ve never been to the Baptist church in my town but just yesterday I happened to notice the Pastor’s name is Bernstein and the Deacon’s name is Levin. lol

I grew up in a mixed family so sectarian joking was pretty common and didn’t raise many hackles. My Catholic uncle was the one who taught me that we Methodists are just Baptists with shoes.

A former Lutheran minister told it to me this way: “Methodists are just Baptists who can read.”
