On Newburyport churches

by Ari Herzog on May 13, 2008

With faith congregations of the Catholic, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Congregational, Christian, Church of Christ, Eastern Orthodox, Jewish, Unitarian Universalist, Baptist, Methodist, Jehovah Witness, and Assemblies of God dotting the Newburyport landscape, it’s a wonder there is no Church of Jediism.

I wish I was joking.

The “under construction” website of the Jedi Order of America does lead to disbelief seeing George Lucas is called a “Profit” and not a “Prophet,” but I’m still not joking.

It all makes sense when you consider this very real story from the Associated Press about a man dressed up as Darth Vader who was given a lighter sentence when his victim, the founder of a Jedi Church, opted not to press charges.

Thanks to Coyote Blog for this hilarious inspiration.

Wait. There isn’t a Jedi Church in Newburyport, is there? This post would be even funnier if there was one.
