The Unitarian Universalist Association chooses not to make a statement for or against the light bulb. If in the course of your journey you have found that light bulbs work for you, that is fine. You are invited to compose a poem or modern dance and present it next Sunday at our annual light bulb service, where we will explore a variety of light bulb traditions, including halogen, fluorescent, and incandescent.
Disclaimer: I am Catholic, and as such felt it that the joke is not insulting; my UU friend provided me with the other, so I believe that it would not be considered insulting either. [/b]

“United Methodists - We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey, you have found that a light bulb works for you, that is fine. You are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your personal relationship with your light bulb, and present it next month at our annual light bulb Sunday service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, three-way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence through Jesus Christ.”
