Living Religious Literature

A jest once shared may travel farther still.

The Laughter Archive gathers original Church jokes, member submissions, themed collections, and artifacts of sacred mirth for teaching, fellowship, and future use.

Draw a random jest

The Jest is free to break the meter.

Our pages march in measured feet when fit;
The joke may trip, then land where laughter wills.

Archive entries are preserved as jokes, not forced into iambic pentameter.

Editorial rule

Preserve mirth. Do not manufacture proof.

Entries are admitted because they contribute to the Church’s religious and literary work: humor, fellowship, reflection, satire, play, or the study of laughter. The Archive is not a receipt-matching system and does not retroactively sanctify purchases.

Archive and expense records are different things. The Laughter Archive documents religious literature and ministry output. Inclusion of a joke, story, photograph, or asset-related entry does not by itself establish that the cost of an asset or benefit is an exempt-purpose expense. Church expenditures are approved and substantiated under separate governance, compensation, private-benefit, and use rules.
