HA HA! Azizi!! I am officially due one "Jimminina" from you! Sorry I didn't note the sari!

(and I don't disagree with your "traditional"/"customary" point.)

MofH,

With all the commas removed thus...

"It'd be a pity, now that that kind of rubbish is started to be shucked off, if using images of Jesus looking African or Indian or whatever, were to be imposed on people instead."

...the meaning is opposite of the way I took it. If that's the case, I agree with you and apologize for the mis-characterization I put to your post!
