Clowning around

Given the choice, would you rather learn about God's message from a traditionally-attired clergy-person - or a clown? According to an Associated Press report, Kokomo the Clown and his cohorts, Kings Clowns, operate out of a church in the United States ... and believe people who don't talk to a preacher will talk to a clown. And Kokomo's alter-ego the Rev. Tom Rives may have a supportable insight as he's been using entertainment to promote religion for 35 years now. And he learned from the best - but it may not be who you think: it was at a workshop sponsored by Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey clowns.
