| A 'non-white' Jesus in a boat with 'refugees'. St Mary Redcliffe church, Bristol Source: Wales Online |
A Bristol church has taken the Colston statue toppling a step further by replacing a stained glass window depicting slave trader Edward Colston with a window showing a "multi-racial Jesus in boat with refugees" as our "neighbours".
The message appears to be that Jesus Christ identifies primarily with the illegal traffic of refugees/asylum seekers/economic migrants who choose to leave one safe country for another.
Neighbourliness did not extend to Christians when Muslim migrants allegedly 'threw Christians overboard during row on a boat sailing from Libya to Italy'. Police said that fifteen people had been arrested on suspicion of multiple homicide aggravated by religious hatred.
That is not to say that all boat people are Muslims. The mistake is to regard other faiths as the same as Christianity.
In Pakistan Christians and other religious minorities are struggling to survive barbaric persecution as they face 'abductions, indentured servitude and state-sanctioned execution'.
Today, 14 Nigerians will be killed for being Christians.
There is much more. See 2022 Persecutor of the Year Report
The pre-woke message was much easier to understand:
