A new statue outside of St. Andrew's, Ottawa, evokes thoughts of Jesus with an outstretched hand, encouraging passers-by to remember His words of compassion: “Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters, you do unto me.” The bronze statue, entitled Whatsoever You Do, depicts a seated human figure cloaked in anonymity. Sculptor Timothy Schmalz was at the May 28th dedication. “I imagine people going to Parliament to see the great leaders of the nation, and as they walk there, they pass by this humble leader, Jesus Christ,” he said. “It's not meant to be a decoration. It is meant to be a confrontation; to challenge people.” St. Andrew's is located at the heart of the nation's capital, and has been since 1828.
