A Homeless Jesus sculpture is causing quite a controversy in Davidson, NC. The Homeless Jesus is a sculpture by Timothy P. Schmalz that shows Jesus lying on a bench outside St. Alban’s Epsicopal Church wrapped in a blanket. Only a small part of the face is showing, but the wounded feet are visible. From a distance some people have thought it was a real homeless person sleeping on the bench. Some residents approve the sculpture but others do not. The “Homeless Jesus” sculpture is causing quite a controversy in the town of Davidson.
