HOMELESS JESUS LOCATIONS



Metropolitan United has been gifted a remarkable piece of artwork by the world renowned artist Timothy Schmaltz. Schmaltz has sculptures placed in sacred and public sites all around the world, and for many, is most well known for his "homeless Jesus" series. The piece that we are receiving is part of a series on Isaiah 58 and is entitled "Sheltering", which evokes themes of support, comfort and protection offered by the Holy Spirit. In humbling bit of symmetry, the same piece, at roughly the same time, will also be placed at the Cathedral in Odesa in Ukraine. 



A man kindly moved from where he was sitting so I could take these photos.

He is painfully thin.
