Located in one of the more upper crust neighborhoods of a town that's already upper crust itself, this sculpture is definitely political. The statue depicts a Jesus as a homeless vagrant sleeping on a park bench. Huddled under a blanket with his face and hands obscured, only the crucifixion wounds on his uncovered feet give him away.The bronze statue was purchased for $22,000 as a memorial for a parishioner, Kate McIntyre, who loved public art. The rector of this liberal, inclusive church is the Rev. David Buck, a 65-year-old Baptist-turned-Episcopalian who seems not at all averse to the controversy, the double takes and the discussion the statue has provoked."Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of my brothers, you did it to me." -Matthew 25:40[Review 13405 overall, 724 of 2020.]
