Portraying Jesus

Quote of the Day: "Emerging Church" Leader Brian McLaren

"When we present Jesus as a pro-war, anti-poor, anti-homosexual, anti-environment, pro-nuclear weapons authority figure draped in an American flag, I think we are making a travesty of the portrait of Jesus we find in the gospels."

-- Brian McLaren, leader of the "emerging church" movement and founding pastor of Cedar Ridge Community Church in Montgomery County, Md. He was quoted by The Washington Post.
