So after the big interfaith gathering, a Catholic priest, a Baptist minister, and a rabbi were chatting. The subject arose of how much of their congregations' money went to community needs and how much they kept themselves to live on.
The priest said, "This may seem a bit silly but it's worked well for me for years. I draw a circle on the ground, gather all the donations for the week, and throw the money up in the air. Whatever lands inside is for God and whatever lands outside I keep for myself."
The minister said, "What a coincidence! I use the same system, only whatever lands outside the circle is for God, and I keep whatever lands inside."
The rabbi said, "This is amazing! My system is quite similar, except I don't draw a circle at all. I simply throw the money up in the air, and whatever God wants, God keeps."
