A priest, a Pentecostal preacher & a rabbi all served as chaplains to the students of northern michigan university in Marquette.They would get together 2-3 times a week for coffee & to talk shop.one day someone made the comment that preaching to people isnt really all that hard. a real challenge would be to preach to a bear.
one thing led to anothers & they decided to do an experiment. they would all go to the woods, find a bear, & attmept to convert it. 7 days later they all get together to discuss the experience.father flannery has his arm in a sling, is on crutches & has various bandages, goes 1st. " when i found a bear i began to read to him from the catechism. well he wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. so quickly i sprinkled my holy water & he became as gentle as a lamb. he is having his 1st communion & confirmation next week. reverand billy who was ina wheelchair with arm and leg both in casts, and an IV drip. he said "well you KNOW that we dont sprinkle!"

I began to read to the bear from gods holy word! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me- so I took hold of him and we began to wrestle down the hill where we came to a creak, I quickly dunked him in and baptized his hairy soul. He the also became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising jesus. Rabbi was next. He was lying in a hospital bed in a body cast with several IVs and monitors running in and out of him- he was in bad shape! The rabbi looks up and says “looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start.”
