Primate receives Homeless Jesus replica

Amidst the presentations and discussions, Council of General Synod (CoGS) also included a moment of giving when Andy Seal, director of Augsburg Fortress Canada, presented Archbishop Fred Hiltz with a miniature replica of Canadian artist Timothy Schmalz’s widely acclaimed Homeless Jesus sculpture.

When I first saw the sculptor’s name, I read it as “Schmaltz”, probably because his statue brought to mind the ubiquitous sentimental plastic Marys for sale in Lourdes. It is only fitting that a Jesus replica – homeless or otherwise – be presented to the head of the Anglican Church of Canada whose object of worship has become – a Jesus replica.

  1. Tragically but true Jesus is indeed homeless in the ACoC. If Jesus were here he would have to sleep on a bench outside the ACoC. The Primate and so-called bishops in the ACoC are either apostate or more interested in their pensions than in maintaining the truth of the Gospel.

  2. And of course the ACoC is very much in the business of leaving homeless those congregations who insist on following God rather than men.
