Methodist message merch

NoMeanMethodists Someone in the Indiana Conference has been enjoying the possibilities made reality through CafePress.

This particular store launched last year, but I learned about it on Wednesday when I saw it linked on the Rev. Jeff Slater's Twitter feed. In addition to the design pictured at right, they have merchandise bearing a variety of messages, including:

"I preach like a girl."

"PREACHERS WHO EXERCISE ARE LESS ANGRY."

And one made better because it's only offered in junior, toddler, and canine T-shirt sizes:
"HOOSIER BISHOP?"

I've seen -- and ordered -- other insider apparel (my favorite at the RevGalBlogPals store: "Does this pulpit make my butt look big?"), but this one is interesting in that it's asking -- no, telling -- fellow Methodists to behave. I think perhaps every 2012 General Conference delegate should have to wear one of these after about Day 8 in Tampa. Or carry the messenger bag that's offered with the same design. (I'm not going to go near the underwear selections, though. Some things I just don't want to know.)
