If you want a Mexican Jesus,or a Black Jesus, or a Chinese Jesus..go right ahead. But I am keeping my White Jesus

[RummyChick]

Btw, if you are going to paint Jesus as black then all the other people have to be black, too

The UK is lost. It’s a former country.

Bishops need to stick with First Principles and the teachings of Christ.

[Red Badger]

That looks like Eddie Murphy!...................

More space for me in heaven every day. Fingers crossed. LOL!

In part 2: The mayoress gives Inspector Fowler a lecture about the need for his officers to be un-racist and un-sexist, Fowler responds by holding a discussion about an article by Sir Paul Condon. (A name which highly amuses Constable Goody.) With Rowan Atkinson, James Dreyfus, Mina Anwar and Mark Addy. | The Thin Blue Line - "Ism Ism Ism" (2/5)

Black Lives Matter doesn’t care about Christianity.
There is no appeasing Black Lives Matter.
This is a colossal waste of time.

How can church leadership benefit anyone if they utterly lack courage or common sense?

A good example of illegal immigration. UK like a puddle of mud

Are his homies gay as well?

I could imagine Judas’ betrayal was caused by mental conflict due the hormones he is taking for his gender transitioning.

Because if you’re going to chase modern PC trends, one really needs to go all the way.

I’ll go with the Jewish Jesus who was likely olive skinned.

[glennaro]

Now why on Earth would a cathedral want to appease an ultra-racist group like BLM?

[a fool in paradise]

Jesus wasn’t from Jamaica either

[Robert DeLong]

Yeah, I agree. All or nothing at all.

[EEGator]

Nah, Noogie from Miami Vice.

Embracing this philosophy, St Albans Cathedral in Hertfordshire is covering up its existing altarpiece painting with the high-resolution print which challenges 'the Western myth' that Jesus looked European.

Jesus was a sub-Saharan African? Not that there's anything wrong with that if he was, but it seems to me that here they are just covering one "myth" with another.

I’m sure there will be plenty of parking spots in front of this “church.”

Black Jesus Model...from Jamaica
..Jesus was Jamaican!! Rewrite the Bible

[LauraJean]

I noticed on the table was bread. Wouldn’t that bread be unleavened, like a pita or tortilla.

[RummyChick]

i wonder what the model thought when he saw it.

The artist made him look kind of deformed
