A Christian organisation in Antigua and Barbuda is planning a protest calling for the removal of a statue they say conflicts with biblical teachings.
The group, Christians United, will hold a demonstration on Saturday, 11 October, outside Glorious Hope Ministries on All Saints Road under the banner “The Statue Must Come Down.”
Organisers say the protest unites believers from different denominations who view the statue as inconsistent with scripture, citing Hosea 4:6 and Exodus 20:4–5, which warn against idolatry.
They stress the action is faith-based, not political, describing it as a stand for “truth and obedience to God’s word.”
The demonstration comes amid wider discussions on religious symbolism, cultural identity, and freedom of belief in Antigua and Barbuda. Authorities have yet to comment on the planned event.
