Episcopal Priest Barbie Tells Secretary Barbie Who's Who

— April 9, 2010 — Life-Stages
This little find just made me the happiest girl around. It seems that some genius out there has gone ahead and created Episcopal Priest Barbie, a true token of their devotion to Christ.

Episcopal Priest Barbie is designed to be used in a church youth group to teach children about vestments (priestly garb). Granted, Episcopal Priest Barbie is a little silly, but it is fitting that the female role model is taking on such a role, especially during what could turn out to be a pivotal time for many Christian denominations.
