Biblical Geography

A handyman is working for an Episcopal church in Allentown, Penn., and asks for a raise. When he is turned down, he decides to quit and goes out to look for work at another church.

First he goes to a Catholic church and was told that in order to work there he would have to answer one question. The priest asks, "Where was the Lord Jesus born?"

When the man answers, "Pittsburgh," he's told he can't be hired.

He then goes to the Baptist church around the corner. The minister tells him that in order to get a job there he would have to answer a question: "Where was the Lord Jesus born?"

This time, the man answers, "Philadelphia." He is sent away.

Walking dejectedly down the street, he met the priest from the Episcopal church. "I've been looking for you," the priest says. "The board approved your raise. Please come back immediately."

"I will come back only if you answer a question: Where was the Lord Jesus born?"

"Bethlehem," says the priest.

"Darn!" the man cries. "I knew it was somewhere in Pennsylvania!"
