THE WEEK

Christa, a four-foot, 250-pound figure of a female Christ crucified, has been making waves at the ultraliberal Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, bully pulpit for the ultra-wacko Bishop Paul Moore Jr., where Christa was on display for 11 days. Bishop Walter Dennis, who is minding the diocese while Bishop Moore is in California on a leave of absence, sorely needed, called the figure “theologically and historically indefensible,” but Moore, a selfappointed champion of women, gays, and other victims of American oppression, has made no public comment. The statue, which was sculpted by Edwina Sandys, a granddaughter of Winston Churchill, is unclad but presumed to be straight.
