Church swaps 'detained' Jesus for mirror in immigration policy protest

From Indianapolis-

For most of the month, that space along Monument Circle was occupied by nativity statues of the baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

The Rev. Stephen Carlsen, dean and rector of  the church, explained Thursday that the change was made so that visitors can envision themselves enduring the pain felt by detained and separated families. 

"The original image was about how God loves us and then how we should love others based on that. This is about how we should love our neighbors as ourselves. That's the core foundation of all ethics and morality," said Carlsen. "Can you imagine what it's like to come to this country seeking safety
for your family, and if you did, how would you want to be treated? What would it be like for you to be detained and in a cage?"
