The #HomelessJesus is a sculpture by artist Timothy Schmalz and is, (subject to planning) to be based in the UK at Methodist Central Hall, Westminster @MCHW.
After 35 years of doing it, I'm pretty confident that the Christian Church speaks out more loudly and acts more determinedly, both alone and with partners, across the broad range of biting social issues, than any other institution I can think of.
On #GoodFriday we unveiled a small version of the @HomelessJesusUK after our original application to have a full size version outside the building was refused by Westminster City Council. Please share this video & next time you're in our building please visit the #HomelessJesus
Ran into '#HomelessJesus' in Dublin, a bronze statue of Jesus as a #homeless person. A "visual translation" of the Gospel of Matthew - Jesus tells his disciples, "as you did it to one of the least of my brothers, you did it to me". Be nice. #homelessnessen.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home…
