With the world seemingly getting ever more divided, it is more important than ever to celebrate the things that unite us. Humor is one of those things and Siôn, one of the ministers at Melbourne Welsh Church, knows this only too well. "I am the one responsible for most of the religious jokes on the signs," he told Bored Panda.
"They are not designed to attract people (bonus if they do) they are to make people think and also, hopefully, see a different side to Christianity. Not all Christians hate anyone different to them, some of us prefer to live with love."
Sion went on to explain that the signs with christian jokes have garnered plenty of attention for the church, and he even gets request sometimes! "We do get loads of emails and tweets about the signs. Most positive, though not all," he said.
"There are a group of workers over the road who email if we haven’t changed the sign in a while. It’s quite popular."
"I find the signs myself, some are made up, some I see online, now people are sending me them too."
Sion even went on to tell us that he got inspiration from a Bored Panda post about Pastor Adam Eriksen. Pastor Adam has a similar penchant for funny and inspirational signs, and shares the same inclusive message about Christianity. Everyone is welcome!
"God loves you relentlessly and eternally because God is love," is one of Pastor Adam's core principles. Sion and his fellow worshippers down at Melbourne Welsh Church wholeheartedly agree!
