First there was Flat Stanley. Now there is Flat Jesus. [Theologians: was Flat Jesus actually before Flat Stanley?]
St James Episcopal Church in Birmingham, Michigan has started a Flat Jesus project. This includes a facebook page:
Do you sometimes wish that Jesus was right there beside you as you navigated through your day? He is, as FLAT JESUS. This visible expression of your faith is a great opportunity to create conversations with your friends & family as you take him with you.
and The Adventures of Flat Jesus.
Send Flat Jesus to every corner of the world! Let Flat Jesus be a reminder of the Jesus’ real presence in every place we find ourselves! Join Flat Jesus as he travels with various adventurers!
[Previously there has also been a Flat Andy, Bishop Andy Doyle]

Yes, thanks, Br David. I already had that link in my post. Blessings.
I don’t know; this seems kind of a two-dimensional portrayal.
Yes, Eric. But that’s one more dimension than some have for Jesus. Blessings.
“Flat Jesus” or “Round Jesus”, i still prefer the Jesus that my two sons introduced me to some five years back – The South Park Jesus created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. You can google it on Youtube.
This is great! It did put me in mind of the song ‘Plastic Jesus’ though! I remember singing it whilst walking pilgrimage to Walsingham. Here’s one of the MANY versions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IknyYLGLVsM
