On June 27, 1997 at the 30th Anniversary celebration in Pittsburgh "The "Sunday Sermon" featured Bishop Jacobs prancing up and down the stage in revivalist style, spewing a generous mouthful of "Amens" and encouraging audience participation. During this address, taking his cue from Our Lord's "Who do you say that I am?" to Simon Peter, Bishop Jacobs screamed at the audience:
"WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?"
Screaming crowd "JESUS!"
Bishop Jacobs: "WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?"
Crowd: "JESUS!"

These people could have been cut from the same cloth. The only difference is the Catholics are less willing to point to the nuts among them.
