Laughing Jesus

By Graham Cameron / 22 November 2007

I’m not much for Jesus art myself, but found this and thought it was cool. I can’t say I’ve seen many potraits like this (one other that I’m aware of), and I wondered why not.I took it to a meeting at a church, and was interested in the range of reactions. Some liked it, others were suspicious that there was something blasphemous about it. Indeed, a comment was made that the most important message in the world needs to be treated seriously.We did a reflection on Jesus art at fellowship this week, and most people liked this the most given space to contemplate it.What do you think?

About us

This site is run by the Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church.

We seek to nurture justice spirituality and imagination, and engage in advocacy in all areas of life, overcoming poverty and transforming violence.

We encourage people to think and live “justly”, and emphasise debate and action on local, national and global issues.

Although we are Anglican, our vision isn’t so much about being Anglican. It’s about living justly. Justice is about how you live your life, and being just where we are. Working together, we can all flourish.
