A PC Cross

Spotted at the Telegraph:
Vicar Rev Ewen Souter ordered the removal of a sculpture of Jesus Christ being crucified from the front of his church after branding it 'unsuitable' and 'a horrifying depiction of pain and suffering'.

Rev Souter said the traditional Christian symbol was frightening children and scaring off worshippers at St John's Church in Horsham, West Sussex.

He has had the 10ft resin sculpture, created by Edward Bainbridge Copnall MBE, a former president of the Royal Society of British Sculptors, removed, to be replaced by an ultra-modern stainless steel cross.

  1. So what does he think Christianity is all about?

  2. Perhaps it's just a theory, a pretty story, a metaphor of humanity.My understanding is that God became a person, and suffered a brutal death at the hands of sinful men to redeem our sins.Maybe Rev. Souter has a different Bible.
