My Name is Jim Hinkley
This Is My St. Barts Story
As a refugee from the growth pangs of north hills in Raleigh, I moved to bynum ridge in chatham county in 1981.
During that year I became a member of St. Bartholomew’s episcopal church in Pittsboro. Having never before been so lovingly welcomed, I was greeted with loving arms.
Love for my new church home was explosive. Immediately, I was welcomed to become involved in several of its innovative ministries. Soon, St. Bart’s became my second home, and I have been an active member ever since.
Baptized in 1933 at St. James Lutheran Church (elca) in reading, pa and confirmed at trinity Lutheran church in Lebanon, pa, my wife, children and I were received and confirmed at st. peter’s episcopal church in 1964, when living in Washington, nc.
I have two brothers who are retired Lutheran Pastors living in florida and Pennsylvania.
I grew up in the church, served as an acolyte, sang in and directed choirs, played trumpet in brass choirs, taught adult and high school Sunday School, served as Lay Eucharistic minister, and as Senior and Junior Warden.
During the 1970’s and early 1980’s, I headed up the nc land stewardship council, sponsored by the three nc episcopal dioceses and the nc Lutheran synod among other protestant, roman catholic, and jewish judicatories.
During those years I also served on the board of directors of the north American conference on Christianity and the environment.
My love for the church, and my love in particular for st. bart’s, has endured all these years. God’s love for me and the warmness of fellow parishioners and clergy have sustained me through my good times and bad times.
Surely, the presence of our lord jesus is at st. bartholomew’s. its many ministries in the community welcome and inspire me to remain very active as a Christian, even now in the latter years of my life.
St. bart’s welcomes all and is open to all, even me.

Homeless Jesus,[1] also known as Jesus the Homeless, is a bronze sculpture by Canadian sculptor Timothy Schmalz that depicts Jesus as a homeless person, sleeping on a park bench. The original sculpture was installed at Regis College, University of Toronto, Toronto in early 2013. Other casts have since been installed and blessed in many places globally.
Homeless Jesus sculpture on the campus of at King's University College at Western University, Ontario.
Homeless Jesus was designed by Timothy Schmalz, a Canadian sculptor and devout Catholic.[2] It depicts Jesus as a homeless person, sleeping on a park bench. His face and hands are obscured, hidden under a blanket, but crucifixion wounds on his feet reveal his identity.[2] The statue has been described as a visual translation of the Gospel of Matthew passage in which Jesus tells his disciples, as you did it to one of the least of my brothers, you did it to me.[2] Schmalz intended for the bronze sculpture to be provocative, admitting, That's essentially what the sculpture is there to do. It's meant to challenge people.[2] He offered the first casts to St. Michael's Cathedral in Toronto and St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York, but both churches declined.[2] One spokesperson for St. Michael's said the church declined because appreciation was not unanimous and it was undergoing restoration. The cast intended for St. Michael's was installed at Regis College, the Jesuit School of Theology at the University of Toronto. Similarly, a spokesperson for St. Patrick's complimented the work but declined purchasing the cast due to ongoing renovations.[2]

In 2013, the first cast was installed in the United States, at the St. Alban's Episcopal Church in Davidson, North Carolina.[2] It was purchased for $22,000 and displayed as a memorial to parishioner Kate McIntyre, who had an affinity for public art.[2] According to the Rev. David Buck, rector of St. Alban's, It gives authenticity to our church. This is a relatively affluent church, to be honest, and we need to be reminded ourselves that our faith expresses itself in active concern for the marginalized of society.[2] Buck welcomed discussion about the sculpture and considers it a Bible lesson for those used to seeing Jesus depicted in traditional religious art as the Christ of glory, enthroned in finery.[2] Furthermore, he said in an interview with NPR, We believe that that's the kind of life Jesus had. He was, in essence, a homeless person.[2]

For the downtown Detroit location, Rev. Gary Wright, S.J. of the Saints Peter and Paul Jesuit Church has said Homeless Jesus honors and may comfort the homeless people whom the church serves.[3] An anonymous alumnus of the Jesuit- and Sisters of Mercy-sponsored University of Detroit Mercy School of Law, which adjoins Saints Peter and Paul, donated funds for the statue at the church, placing it just across East Jefferson Avenue from Detroit's iconic Renaissance Center towers.[4]
Charleston, West Virginia, received the 8th Homeless Jesus statue in November, 2014.[5]
A cast has been installed on the Via della Conziliazione, the street leading to St. Peter's Basilica outside of the Papal Office of Charities in March 2016.[6] Earlier, Schmalz visited the Pope in Vatican City in November 2013 to present a miniature version of his statue. He recalled about the Pope's reaction, He walked over to the sculpture, and it was just chilling because he touched the knee of the Jesus the Homeless sculpture, and closed his eyes and prayed. It was like, that's what he's doing throughout the whole world: Pope Francis is reaching out to the marginalized.[2] Catholic Charities of Chicago and the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C. have both had casts installed outside of their offices. Pope Francis visited the sculpture installed along G Street in Chinatown, Washington, D.C., during his 2015 visit to the United States.[7].
St. Paul's Cathedral, Buffalo, New York, is now the permanent site for Homeless Jesus, installed during Holy Week 2015. St. Paul's, the Cathedral for The Episcopal Diocese of Western New York, is located at 139 Church Street (corner of Church and Pearl in downtown Buffalo). It was considered Buffalo’s first national architectural landmark in 1851, and is classified as a National Historic Landmark.[8]

Statue Of A Homeless Jesus Startles A Wealthy Community
The bronze sculpture depicting Jesus huddled under a blanket on a park bench has provoked praise and complaints — and a call to the police — in its new North Carolina neighborhood.
-----
A new religious statue in the town of Davidson, N.C., is unlike anything you might see in church.
The statue depicts Jesus as a vagrant sleeping on a park bench. St. Alban's Episcopal Church installed the homeless Jesus statue on its property in the middle of an upscale neighborhood filled with well-kept townhomes.
Jesus is huddled under a blanket with his face and hands obscured; only the crucifixion wounds on his uncovered feet give him away.
The reaction was immediate. Some loved it; some didn't.
One woman from the neighborhood actually called police the first time she drove by, says David Boraks, editor of DavidsonNews.net. She thought it was an actual homeless person.
That's right. Somebody called the cops on Jesus.
Another neighbor, who lives a couple of doors down from the church, wrote us a letter to the editor saying it creeps him out, Boraks added.
Some neighbors felt it was an insulting depiction of the Son of God, and what appears to be a hobo curled up on a bench demeans the neighborhood.
The bronze statue was purchased for $22,000 as a memorial for a parishioner, Kate McIntyre, who had loved public art. The rector of this liberal, inclusive church is Rev. David Buck, a 65-year-old Baptist-turned-Episcopalian who seems not at all averse to the controversy, the double-takes and the discussion the statue has provoked.
It gives authenticity to our church, he says. This is a relatively affluent church, to be honest, and we need to be reminded ourselves that our faith expresses itself in active concern for the marginalized of society.
The sculpture is intended as a visual translation of the passage in the Book of Matthew, in which Jesus tells his disciples, as you did it to one of the least of my brothers, you did it to me. Moreover, Buck says, it's a good Bible lesson for those used to seeing Jesus depicted in traditional religious art as the Christ of glory, enthroned in finery.
We believe that that's the kind of life Jesus had, Buck says. He was, in essence, a homeless person.
This lakeside college town north of Charlotte has the first Jesus the Homeless statue on display in the United States. Catholic Charities of Chicago plans to install its statue when the weather warms up. The Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., is said to be interested in one, too.
The creator is a Canadian sculptor and devout Catholic named Timothy Schmalz. From his studio in Ontario, Schmalz says he understands that his Jesus the Homeless is provocative.
That's essentially what the sculpture is there to do, he says. It's meant to challenge people.
He says he offered the first casts to St. Michael's Cathedral in Toronto and St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York. Both declined.
A spokesman at St. Michael's says appreciation of the statue was not unanimous, and the church was being restored so a new work of art was out of the question. That statue found a home in front of the Jesuit School of Theology at the University of Toronto.
A spokesperson at St. Patrick's in New York says they liked the homeless Jesus, but their cathedral is also being renovated and they had to turn it down.
The most high-profile installation of the bronze Jesus on a park bench will be on the Via della Conziliazione, the avenue leading to St. Peter's Basilica — if the City of Rome approves it. Schmalz traveled to the Vatican last November to present a miniature to the pope himself.
He walked over to the sculpture, and it was just chilling because he touched the knee of the Jesus the Homeless sculpture, and closed his eyes and prayed, Schmalz says. It was like, that's what he's doing throughout the whole world: Pope Francis is reaching out to the marginalized.
Back at St. Alban's in Davidson, the rector reports that the Jesus the Homeless statue has earned more followers than detractors. It is now common, he says, to see people come, sit on the bench, rest their hand on the bronze feet and pray.

SUMMARY
=======
The display of flags used by and associated with the Confederate States of America (1861–1865) has continued, with a long interruption, into the present day, with the Southern cross used in the battle flag of General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia gaining the most popular recognition as a modern symbol of the Confederacy, and by extension, the Southern United States in general. Such displays have been made for a variety of reasons, with Southern heritage, states' rights, and historical commemoration among the stated reasons for particular uses. Displaying the flag has long been controversial in the United States, due to the flag's longstanding associations with racism, slavery, segregation, white supremacy, and treason. Many Southerners associate the Confederate battle flag with pride in their heritage and traditions, but for most outsiders it is impossible to separate the flag from its association with the defense of slavery and racial bias.
Despite the common belief that the Confederate flag has remained in uninterrupted use since the end of the American Civil War, its use was mostly limited to historical films, like Gone with the Wind (1939). Its revival in the 1950s and 1960s came about because of the American Civil War Centennial, but was also used to show opposition to the
Civil Rights Movement, starting with Senator Strom Thurmond's Dixiecrats in 1948. Racism played a major role in its renewed popularity.
THE YARD (2018)
A history professor in Memphis Tennessee discovers that the parking lot of the church he attends used to be a slave yard belonging to a Confederate army general.
Rhodes College professor, Dr. Huebner’s research reveals there used to be a slave yard in the parking lot of the church he attends, situated in the middle of downtown Memphis. Not just any slave yard, but one belonging to Nathan Bedford Forrest, a famed Confederate army general.
What irks Dr. Huebner is the existing marker on the edge of the property doesn’t mention the fact that humans had been sold there by one of the South’s favorite sons for immense profit and personal gain.
“The Yard” is a story of courage to face the truth. A will for change. And the need to openly discuss a dark past to move on to a brighter future.
Supported by contemporaries and Memphis historians, Dr. Huebner physically rectifies the past when he erects a marker that states the facts about the site on April 4th, 2018 (the 50th Anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr’s assassination).
Dr. Huebner also pays tribute to over 70 known slaves sold at “The Yard” over a century and a half ago.

SUMMARY
=======
For decades in the U.S., there have been isolated incidents of removal of Confederate monuments and memorials, although generally opposed in public opinion polls, and several U.S. States have passed laws over 115 years to hinder or prohibit further removals.
In the wake of the Charleston church shooting in June 2015, several municipalities in the United States removed monuments and memorials on public property dedicated to the Confederate States of America. The momentum accelerated in August 2017 after the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The removals were driven by the belief that the monuments glorify white supremacy and memorialize a treasonous government whose founding principle was the perpetuation and expansion of slavery. Many of those who object to the removals, like President Trump, believe that the artifacts are part of the cultural heritage of the United States.The vast majority of these Confederate monuments were built during the era of Jim Crow laws (1877–1954) and the Civil Rights Movement (1954–1968). Detractors claim that they were not built as memorials but as a means of intimidating African Americans and reaffirming white supremacy. The monuments have thus become highly politicized; according to Eleanor Harvey, a senior curator at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and a scholar of Civil War history: If white nationalists and neo-Nazis are now claiming this as part of their heritage, they have essentially co-opted those images and those statues beyond any capacity to neutralize them again.In some Southern states, state law restricts or prohibits altogether the removal or alteration of public Confederate monuments. According to Stan Deaton, senior historian at the Georgia Historical Society, These laws are the Old South imposing its moral and its political views on us forever more. This is what led to the Civil War, and it still divides us as a country. We have competing visions not only about the future but about the past.
