As Christians go, they are a minority group - or should that be troupe? Meet Clowns for Jesus. They are a group of evangelical clowns who use red noses, and slapstick comedy to spread the Christian faith, or, as they prefer to term it "gospel clown". In case they've passed you by, the Show me Clowns for Jesus Conference (held in the US, though the clowns also minister in Germany) is now in its 23rd year, while the Fellowship of Christian Clowns Int (700 fellowships exist in total) was founded in 2007.
