CONVERSION

A Jew converted and became a priest. He gave his first mass in front of a number of high-ranking priests who came for the occasion. At the end of the new priest's sermon a cardinal went up to congratulate him.

“Pastor Lewis,” – he said, – “that was very well done, you were just perfect. But next time please don't start your sermon with, “Fellow goyim*...”

* Plural of the Hebrew goy, meaning nation, one who is not Jewish, non-Jew.
