Question of the Day

If, at the Last Supper, Jesus had served coffee instead of wine, how would church be different today?

The Service of Holy Communion would take a lot longer than it already does, because people would have to blow on the sacrament to cool it down.

Every church would have a Starbucks...except the Mormons.

Communion would be served at the beginning of worship services in hopes that the coffee's caffiene would keep people awake during the remainder of the service.
Children would, of course, be given decaf

People would be wired instead of laid back. Might help us Methodists.

People would gather in Fellowship Hall after worship for grape juice and donuts.

Introducing intinction as a way to take communion would be easily done. What's more natural than dipping something into a cup of coffee?

Of course, we UM's would only use decaf, while the Catholics & Lutherans would use the real thing.

Would we have to use decaf instead of regular because caffeine is an addictive drug? Caffiene temperance campaigns?

We if served coffee before services then the sermon would have to be short.

John said...

No, that would be decaffeinated coffee.
