Pride and Prejudice

                           
Years ago, a bishop in a small diocese had two horses, and he named them Pride and Prejudice, the title of the novel by Jane Austin. He used them often to travel from one parish to another, and to his mission churches he had spread out in his vast diocese. One day, a parishioner told him, ‘Your Lordship, I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to travel using horses with such negative names.’ The bishop quickly answered him ‘Trust me my friend, if I can control Pride and Prejudice in my life, there is nothing for me to be ashamed of!’
