We thought long and hard before creating this bumper selection of Religious Jokes
. Three things swayed us towards publishing, firstly, these are clean religious jokes, secondly why should the devil have all the best jokes? Thirdly, what tipped the balances was when a practicing clergyman sent in jokes that he had given his blessing.
* Church News *
We collect our stories from Pews News and other church publications. Here is a snippet from the the Roman Catholic Holy Spirit Church in Marple, Stockport in the diocese of Shrewsbury.
New Carpet: There will be a discussion in May as to how we might raise funds for the new carpet. All who wish to do something on the carpet should come forward and do so now.

Charity Begins at Church
After the church service, seven year old Brian said to the preacher: “When I grow up, I’m going to give you some money.”

* Vicar Rides Again *
The Reverend Douglas Johnston was not the best of drivers. One Sunday he was driving home from church when unfortunately, he had a minor bump with cyclist. The poor man was knocked off his bike into the ditch. The Vicar naturally stopped his car, got out and profusely apologised and gave the cyclist his calling card saying that if he could ever be of help, then the man should not hesitate to ask.
As the man rode home he looked at the card which said, ‘The Reverend Douglas Johnston is sorry he missed you today.’
