How to Become a Bishop Without Being Religious (Audio DAISY Book)

By: Charles Merrill Smith
Type: Non-fiction
Subject categories: Humour, Sermons and Preaching, The Church
Read by: Martha Arney
Approximate time: 5 hours 12 minutes
Catalog number: 1047
"More devils can be routed by a little laughter than by a carload of humorless piety," writes Methodist Pastor Charles Merrill Smith in How to Become a Bishop Without Being Religious. The devils that Smith wants to exorcise are the phony pietism and trivial hypocrisy that many a Protestant pastor has to indulge in if he intends to climb the hierarchical ladder of his church. Success in the ministry, says Smith, comes from meticulous conformity to "the right professional stance." A clergyman must never even think, for example, of driving a red Corvette convertible. For beginning preachers, a black, two-door Falcon is ideal, a dark green Chevy II with automatic transmission is "safe" for the pastor of a small congregation. But a substantial urban congregation may expect its minister to drive something a bit larger and less austere, such as a blue Mercury Comet or a Pontiac Tempest.
