Top Anglican Archbishop Claims That Jesus Was Black...

... and that the Church of England is too white. He also supports BLM and other crap of a similar ilk. What the hell has happened to our religious leaders? In the past they had all been a bastion of conservatism and common sense. Anyway, here is the article and you can ask yourself as to how someone like this rose to such a high position;

Anglican & Episcopal--both the "Church of What's Happening Now."

Re: breitbart, etc. When it comes to matters pertaining to the Anglican Church or other similar denominations, I am never surprised at what is found in their official statements. Nevertheless, if one wants to accurately assess what is actually being said, it is always best to look to the sources and not depend upon a brief summary found in a less than neutral publication. It is no different than when the msm takes aim at the 2nd Amendment and fires away with some fake news based on some scrap of something they determine to be the position of the NRA, etc. without actually looking to what the NRA has actually said. Sincerely. bruce.

Jesus started out Southwest Asian. And then he was European. Maybe he's black now. He's Jesus after all so nothing is impossible.

Jesus started out Southwest Asian.

Roman province of Palestine, formerly Kingdom of Judea, located in Southwest Asia? Well, then, so is all of Europe, just a small peninsula on the far western edge of the Asian continent.

Except that he's right -- Judea IS located in Asia. Asia was named for small kingdom located just up the coast from the Kingdom of Judah (called Judea by the Romans) which was the first Roman foothold in that area. The boundary between Europe and Asia is the Dardanelles/Bosphorus, then along the southern shore of the Black Sea, then north along the Caucasus Mountains. Jesus and all the Apostles were Asians.

And, yes the continent is sometimes called "Eurasia."

That boundary is as arbitrary & artificial as the one between US & Canada. A road could be built (maybe it already exists) from eastern Siberia to Portugal without crossing any body of water wider than a river.

Artificial or not, that's the boundary. Canada and the US ARE separate countries, are they not?

If you live in modern Israel, you live in Asia.

I think most folks call it the Middle East, and get confused on which continent it is,

Southwest Asia is how it is referred to in the military.

If you live in modern Israel, you live in Asia.

If you live in modern Europe, you live in western Asia. A line drawn on a map is not a geographical distinction.

So would you accept the terminology of an org that calls a hat or cap a "cover"?
