•The Dean has agreed to install the 9ft piece of artwork on the altar from July 4 •He conceded that the church is in a weak position to preach about racial justice •Artist Lorna May Wadsworth casts a Jamaican-born model as Christ in painting •It comes after Justin Welby urged Church to reconsider notion Christ was white [ link to www.dailymail.co.uk (secure)] Lost for words. Look at the picture. Jesus was an African? Quoting: Tess. Jesus wasn’t even black tho Arab/Hebrew I mean, technically Caucasian. Brown, not black, and certainly not African. Quoting: MissusSmith All you have to do is look at facial features and hair type Hebrews, Arabs, Persians....have straight hair, pointy noses and thin lips Sub Saharan Africans do not They are not the same It's like I see lots of posts online by blacks wanting to claim the heritage of Egypt Egyptians were not black either...look at their paintings and sculpture...they did not have afros and flat noses and big lips...one particular pharaoh did (Akhenaten)...but most did not. The sculptures and paintings of Ahkenaten show him to be...kinda weird The Kingdom of Kush mentioned in the Bible was obviously black Africans...that is clearly easy to trace and Kush did assume control of greater Egypt for a time....but they were not Egyptian, they were Kushites
