The picture below was posted at David Kuo’s Beliefnet blog, J-Walking. Overlooking its artistic merits (or lack thereof), I was curious to see what others thought. I can appreciate the point it makes, but I have misgivings about the theology behind it. Are we to wash the feet of everyone, even those whose stated desire is our destruction?

I sent it to a good friend, and she was deeply offended. (And she thought Hillary looked weird.) I pointed out to her that, well, Christ did wash the feet of Judas. But then again: the only feet he washed belonged to his apostles. Which certainly would not describe some of those pictured.

The picture, by the way, comes to us from this website.

Thoughts?
