Anglican church defends Christmas billboard campaign showing couple in bed together
A New Zealand church has sparked outrage by erecting a billboard depicting Mary and Joseph lying semi-nude beneath the sheets.
In an unorthodox take on the Christmas tale, the billboard depicts a forlorn Joseph and Mary looking to the sky with a caption which reads: “Poor Joseph. God is a hard act to follow.”
The St Matthew-in-the-City church said it wanted to inspire people to talk about the Christmas story.
