Preach LOUDLY!

     Today we were reading about the Byzantine Empire and Justinian the Emperor.  My PK's and I thought one of his laws was particularly hilarious:

"WHEN A BISHOP, PRIEST, OR PASTOR IS PRAYING OR PREACHING, HE HAS TO SPEAK LOUDLY ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE TO HEAR.  IF HE DOESN'T, GOD WILL PUNISH HIM--AND SO WILL THE EMPEROR!"
