I was at a Catholic church yesterday and the church has a goal of promoting multiculturalism. I think there should be a Mary that looks African, a Mary that looks Asian, a Mary that looks Hispanic or even Native American. I would nominate myself as the Mary that looks African and just work for years on a statue in Honor of Maryam that looks exactly like me to ship to Africa or the Caribbean. I have always thought there should be non-white images of Mary but almost all the images are white. This is my opinion and I know it shouldn’t matter but in a lot of ways having one image is not inclusive to non-whites.
I think that statues of Mary should be done to reflect multiculturalsim
