A successful revival

I received Presbyterians Today magazine today, and I enjoyed this little piece:


The Methodist, Disciples of Christ, Lutheran and Presbyterian congregations in a small town co-sponsored a week-long revival event. At the end of the week the pastors of the respective congregations gathered over coffee to compare results. 


"We did OK," said the Methodist pastor. "We gained two new members."


The Disciples of Christ pastor smiled. "We did better. We have three new members."


"Not to brag, but we received five new members," said the Lutheran pastor.


They turned to the Presbyterian pastor, waiting for her report. "Well, we didn't gain any members," she said. "but we did get rid of ten of our biggest trouble makers."
