When they inaugurated the city of Constantinople in 330 they wanted to honor
its founder and namesake. So they brought from Greece a statue of Apollo, but
they removed from the statue the head of Apollo and replaced it with a carved
image of the head of Constantine. Does it not seem sometimes that Christ has
been removed as the head of the church, and some other has been put in His
place? We commonly think of that in terms of famous names and famous people,
but some ordinary people can sometimes usurp Christ's place as head of His church.
