A Christian organization in Antigua and Barbuda, known as Christians United, is organizing a protest to demand the removal of a statue they claim contradicts biblical teachings. The demonstration, scheduled for Saturday, 11 October, will take place outside Glorious Hope Ministries on All Saints Road under the slogan “The Statue Must Come Down.” The group asserts that the statue promotes idolatry, which they argue is explicitly condemned in scriptures such as Hosea 4:6 and Exodus 20:4–5. Organizers emphasize that the protest is a faith-based initiative aimed at upholding “truth and obedience to God’s word,” rather than a political statement. The event has sparked broader conversations about religious symbolism, cultural identity, and freedom of belief in the region. Local authorities have not yet issued a response regarding the planned protest.
