St Matthews unveils provocative Christmas billboard

St Matthews-in-the-City Church has again rolled out a provocative billboard in time for Christmas - their latest showing Mary with a positive pregnancy test.

The church says the billboard aimed to “avoid the sentimental [and] trite” and “spark thought and conversation”.

St Matthews has caused controversy with numerous provocative billboards in recent years.

In 2009, their Christmas billboard showed Mary and Joseph in bed with the tag line, “Poor Joseph, God was a hard act to follow.”
