Your own personal (baby) Jesus?Rebecca Swarbrick - 6 Dec 2012

You'd be forgiven for thinking that this little lamb would be better suited as the star of a horror film than as a way of reminding people of where Christmas began. But it has us all talking about Jesus and that can't be a bad thing.

This image, released by churchads.net, will be appearing on bus shelters and bill boards and outside church buildings across the UK. So what do you think? Funny or meaningful? A dumbing down of Christianity? Does it speak 'our' language? Does it show God as 'one of us'? Does it say 'God is fake' or that we've made God in our own image?  Is it simply wrong to display the Son of God as a plastic baby doll? Or is it a refreshing critique of what Christmas has become? Comments please!
