As the website catholicshopper.com declares without any apparent irony, "Handpainted resin statues on a solid wood base are the perfect gift for every young Catholic athlete. These statues portray Jesus actively participating with boys and girls in a variety of sports. A wonderful way to reinforce Jesus "as friend" in everyday activities. Sizes vary from 4 3/4 to 6 1/2 inches."
We are simply grateful that we Anglicans are happier to consider Jesus less as a friend, and more as a tame tax-accountant - efficient, helpful, on-the-christmas-card-list, but not someone you'd necessarily want to invite to dinner. Or encase in resin and put on your mantlepiece.
