In Honor of Bureaucrats Everywhere . . .

martinlutherflyerbig.jpgI posted this a couple of years ago, but for some reason, it cries out to be re-posted today.

Look carefully.  What's wrong with this picture?

Bureaucrats and clip art . . . you gotta love 'em.

The problem is that it's Martin Luther King, JR. They forgot to be specific. :)

Also, the date is wrong.

Isn't this a picture of the less-well-known Professor Doktor Martin Luther Koenig?

Now - Martin Luther day IS a holiday I'd gladly celebrate!

Duh! Right idea, wrong man. You'd think they'd have at least noticed the man in the picture is white.

Must have been made by an optimistic Lutheran trying to co-opt the day.

This reminds me of when our church in the States was trying to purchase special bulletin covers for Reformation Day services. We asked for something with Martin Luther and the young salesperson hurried back with two different options, both with pictures of Martin Luther King.

Just goes to show that mainstream religious literacy leaves a LOT to be desired.

Reminds me of the time about twenty years ago when I went into a secular bookstore asking for a copy of Pigrim's Progress...and was directed to the Early American History section! And just to show the state of MY religious literacy at the time...

Being a new Christian...at a Pentecostal church...I was really confused when I couldn't find it there!

I like it!

But remember that bureaucrat is a person also.
