I guess there are no more saintly real people anymore that one could make a statue to memorialize. I get it.

How long before they’re bowing down to these figures?

How cute. Apparently this church must have lots of money to throw away on gimmicks to attract people.

I really don’t think CS Lewis would approve.

I think this is great!

Many churches of that era are decorated with characters from folklore or local stories. I have always seen Narnia as a Christian allegory which would make it very appropriate.

The sculptures also seem to look very finely crafted and beautiful.

I’d rather see Aslan than some twisted dwarf or obscene figure.

Trying to compete with “The Church Of What’s Happening Now”?
