The second time I saw it I was drawn to the young girl/Mary in the back ground who seems to be looking with shock upon the bystanders.<br />When a church asks for art they have a right to censor things if they want to. Unfortunately they do so at the risk of alienating the artist as well as closing the doors for people to experience faith at a level beyond fill in the blank Christianity.Sidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17503307945024260052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37421406.post-24346432461069756082010-04-05T07:36:00.444-04:002010-04-05T07:36:00.444-04:00I like it, too.

That this came from a child makes it all the more relevant. It shows his very mature view of faith and also shows his ability in photography. In defense of the church, however, it can be construed to portray an anti-cop idea. I am interested to know if the church has given any reasons for not using it.Mathsquatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214283890697119803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37421406.post-83607467920641555242010-04-05T06:32:52.624-04:002010-04-05T06:32:52.624-04:00I love it!

It also brings it to the modern perspective.Timothy Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03970353287026653118noreply@blogger.com
