Download or read book How to Survive Being a Presbyterian! written by Bob Reed and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-01-16 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this tongue-in-cheek celebration of the funny foibles of the Frozen Chosen, the 300-year-old Percy T. Presby declares: "Presbyterianism is a series of meetings occasionally interrupted by a worship service." "The national drink of Presbyterian women is decaf coffee." "Some Presbyterians believe that a jazz band is the Boston Pops." This Presby 101 handbook uses an advice format to describe Presbyterians by ostensibly addressing new members of the church. But it is also a humorous primer and survival manual for ALL people in the denomination. Gently skewering the history, worship habits, and endless committee meetings, it covers clothing, potluck dinners, and-yes-sex, all from the Presbyterian perspective.
