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!’
