Honest Christians Need Not Apply

Somebody please tell me this is an April Fool’s joke two days late:

We need two workers at the Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana to assist the LifeWay Research team. We are looking for two energetic seminary students to work (for pay) Monday and Tuesday, June 9 and 10. One would work the hours of 9-5 and one is needed the hours of 10-8. Email research@lifeway.com for directions how to proceed if interested. You must be SBC and cannot have been anywhere near anything sinful in the last 6 months.

Update: Ed Stetzer, on whose blog this ad appears, has left the following note in his comments:

Hmmm… I better clarify that the last part was a joke. Sinners are welcome to apply.

Well alright then.

    Reminds me of the old Catholic-school joke about Jesus inviting anyone without sin to cast the first stone.

    A rock whizzes by.

    And then, in red letters: “Mom, you have to spoil everything.”

    I’ve been near a lot of sinful things, but in case they can’t get anybody, they could hire this Lutheran because each Sunday I’m reminded that my sins have been forgiven.

    Does Ed’s addendum mean the Virgin Mary’s out?

    I’m sure from a Baptist perspective she’s just as qualified as anybody else :-)
