Lorna May Wadsworth's reimagining of The Last Supper depicting Jesus as a black man. Our letter writer argues he was neither black nor white and his persecution was nothing to do with race.
WITH reference to the new Archbishop of York saying Jesus was a black man (The Press, Tuesday July 7), Jesus was a Jew born in Bethlehem into a Jewish family and his skin would have been neither black nor white.
He was persecuted, not because of his skin colour, but by some of his own people, because he went round the country teaching about God’s love for everyone, no matter what colour of skin.
If everyone looked at others through the eyes of Jesus there would be no hatred, racism, wars, but sadly that does not happen.
