A New Zealand church has sparked outrage by erecting a billboard depicting a forlorn Mary and Joseph lying semi-nude beneath the sheets. The St Matthew-in-the-City church said it wanted to inspire people to talk about the Christmas story.
But within five hours of the billboard going up in downtown Auckland a man was standing on his car roof painting over the raunchy image. Archdeacon Glynn Cardy said the church meant to challenge a fundamentalist interpretation of Christ's birth.
"What we're trying to do is to get people to think more about what Christmas is all about. Is it about a spiritual male God sending down sperm so a child would be born, or is it about the power of love in our midst as seen in Jesus?"
Cardy said one person had threatened to tear down the billboard but that of the 20 odd emails and phone calls he had received "about 50% said they loved it, and about 50% said it was terribly offensive".
The Catholic church joined those on the attack, accusing the Anglican church of disrespect.
