Hanging in the hallways of Broadway Church, a historic stone structure in midtown Kansas City, Mo., are more than 200 artistic portrayals of Jesus. Inspired by Salvador Dali’s “Christ of St. John of the Cross,” the church’s former pastor, Paul R. Smith, began collecting these “faces of Jesus,” which were mounted in 1996.

For the pastor, these images help people to see God in a way that words do not allow.

The Religious Resources Centre has several packs of images (including some of those featured by Pastor Paul) at each of our two – all available for loan – for more information on these, and other images/poster sets, search our on-line catalogue.
