NEWNAN TIMES-HERALD
By Winston Skinner
GEORGIA - Jekyll Island has its share of tourist attractions – the miles of beaches, the Millionaire's Village, the remaining tabby walls of the colonial Horton House. Then there is the huge collection of images of Jesus. The room at Jekyll Presbyterian Community Church is not included in tourism brochures, but the paintings, carvings and prints tell a story of how Christ has been viewed by artists from many different eras and cultures. There are more than 100 different pieces in the Heads of Christ room at Jekyll Presbyterian. The room also includes a comfortable sofa and some books with art featuring images of Christ -- forming a fine place for contemplation and prayer. [link]

Very nice collection. Need to add some depictions of Christ from other cultures than the dominate miages from Europe.
We totally agree, and we will continue to seek those out as they are reported in the media. We aggregate stories that are already in the news media, so if you have news sources for us to follow, please let us know! Our goal is diversity, and right now the depictions of Christ from Europe are the one's that do dominate the news media. Keep us posted...please!
