When will God learn that Black Lives Matter?
Well, not until we really push it hard! Right in His face!
One of Britain’s oldest churches is paying tribute to the Black Lives Matter movement by installing a version of Leonardo Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” with Jesus recast as a black prophet.
Dubbed “A Last Supper,” the reinterpretation of the original 15th-century artwork was painted by British painter Lorna May Wadsworth, who hired Jamaican model Tafari Hinds to pose as the son of God. The 9-foot print will be installed at the alter of St. Albans Cathedral in Hertfordshire — a move prompted by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.
“The church is not in a strong position to preach to others about justice, racial or otherwise,” the Rev. Dr. Jeffrey John, dean of St. Albans, said in a recent statement. “But our faith teaches that we are all made equally in the image of God, and that God is a God of justice.”
He added that the church transformed the altar because “black lives matter.”
In an effort to reconcile centuries of European colonization, Welby recently asked Church of England officials to consider the strong likelihood that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was not white. He went further by challenging churchgoers to embrace the many representations of Jesus, regardless of the Messiah’s depicted ethnicity.
“Jesus was Middle Eastern, not white. It’s important we remember this,” tweeted the archbishop on Saturday.
This is a hoax and Jesus was not any more “Middle Eastern” than he was black.
Jesus was Middle Eastern, not white. It's important we remember this.
But the God we worship in Christ is universal, and the hope he offers is good news for us all. Here are some of my favourites images of Christ from around the world.

“Middle Eastern” is not a race, the current occupants of the Middle East are just mixed race.
But even if Jesus looked like the modern Middle Easterners – which makes literally zero historical sense – what does that have to do with the blacks?
This is all just an attack on Christianity, because these people are attempting to completely abolish civilization in total.
