The Preacher

A South Carolina pastor said to his congregation, 

“Someone in this congregation has spread a rumor 

that I belong to the Ku Klux Klan. This is a horrible 

lie and one which a Christian community cannot 

 tolerate. I am embarrassed and do not intend to 

accept this. Now, I want the party who said this to 

 stand and ask forgiveness from God and this 

Christian family."

No one moved.

The preacher continued, "Do you have the nerve to 

face me and admit this is a falsehood? Remember, 

you will be forgiven and in your heart you will feel

glory. Now stand and confess your transgression."

Again, all was quiet .

  

Then, slowly, a drop-dead gorgeous beauty with a 

body that would stop a runaway train rose from the 

 third pew. Her head was bowed and her voice 

 quivered as she spoke,  "Reverend there has been a 

terrible misunderstanding. I never said you were a 

 member of the Ku Klux Klan.  I simply told a couple 

of my friends that you were a wizard under the sheets."
