Uh...Eternal Life, Please?

As the Church was going on its way, a young man ran up to it and fell on his knees before it. "Good teacher, "he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

The Church smiled down at him. "How about joining an Alpha course or Emmaus or one of our weekly study groups? Or maybe you'd like to train as a chalice-bearer or sidesman?"

The man was puzzled. Very few of the words the Church had used meant anything to him at all.
