MISSIONARY CONTROVERSY
A missionary is sent to Africa and goes to live with a tribe. He spends years with the people, teaching
them to read, write and the good Christian ways of the white man. One thing he particularly stresses
is
the evils of sexual sin. Thou must not commit adultery or fornication!
One day the wife of one of Tribe's nobleman gives birth to a white child. The village is shocked and
the
chief is sent by his people to talk with the missionary. "You have taught us the ways of sexual
sin, yet
here a black woman gives birth to a white child. You are the only white man that has ever set foot in
our
village. It doesn't take a genius to work out what has been going on!"
The missionary replies: "No, no my good man. You are mistaken. What you have here is a natural
occurrence -- what is called an albino. Look to thy yonder field. See a field of white sheep, and yet
amongst them is one black one. Nature does this on occasion.
The chief pauses for a moment then says, "Tell you what, you don't say anything about the sheep,
and
I won't say anything about the white baby."
