Protestants, when you think about it, have taken a strange attitude to the crucifix. Protestant theology is absolutely den£remm cd—VOli Tie-deat i of Vhrlst as the atoning power of God for " man's redemption. ° My own Anglican Church has stated the centrality ,of thesCross in the consecration ;prayer.. at n4.°rera°TavTa • holy'" Communion. It is, .a confessions of 'faith that Jesus "made there, by his, own ,i, oblation of himself once offered, a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, .oblation • and satisfaction, for the sins of 'the • whole world."` This is a fine summary of what St. Paul and other New • Testament writers believed about the crucifixion of Jesus. .I think ' most , Protestant churches would echo these words in their own statements of faith as to the meaning of the Cross. Is it not curious, then, that • we have shied away `from representing Jesus crucified in the 'ornaments and decor of our churches? The crucifix' is looked upon as a particular symbol of the Roman Catholic Church, and has, become a symbol of our * _divisions . rather --than .of our ;unity in the faith._ There are, T .know, several . reasons for this that reach back into the religious controversies of the sixteenth century. It is a r harne'that-by ` zer fatin"g the Obituaries MRS.

The whole thing is emotional bigotry which distorts faith and restricts devotion. I am prompted to write about this subject because recently I bought 'a srziall reproduction of Salvador • Dali's beautiful painting of "The Christ of St. John of the Cross." The painting depicts Jesus on the Cross, and suspended above theblue waters of the Sea of Galilee. The crucifix is painted against a black sky, but below it and illuminating the figure of Jesus is the golden light of the rising sun. The crucifix dominates the painting. Far below it we see people on the shores of Galilee - a fisherman with his net, a man ..standing by his.-beat,-.axi.clp .4anothe :.:personoivalking.L=4he., -beach. What makes the picture most ,striking and unusual is that we do not see the face of Jesus. From- his --hands; -'nailed--to--the- cross, we receive an impression of the hrarror of crucifixion.
