Following conversations (arguments) in the U.S. about whether “white European” Jesus statues ought to be torn down along with those of Confederate soldiers, the Archbishop of Canterbury chimed in to say that Jesus Christ should at least not be portrayed as a white man.
Being "white" or "non-white" is not a binary question. He probably was purple. Or bright green.
They're just surprised that an Archbishop has any knowledge of truth or scientific accuracy!
Does anyone other than HRH & family actually attend services in the UK these days?
