Walking evangelist has a question for a name

He was barefoot, wearing a white robe and carrying a Bible and a laminated road map. His brown hair hung to his shoulders and a thick beard obscured his face.

It wasn't really Jesus, of course, but a pretty good likeness. A good enough likeness to attract stares from motorists as he tromped through Massey Hill on his way to an appointment in Hope Mills.

This "Jesus'' is a self-styled evangelist who goes by the unlikely name of "What's Your Name?'' He was in Fayetteville this week to spread the gospel in his unique way.

The robed evangelist has made news before. He's been featured in Time magazine, on ABC News and in dozens of newspapers across the country and indeed, the world.

You can read some of those articles on his Web site, www.whatsyournameonline.com - yes, this Jesus lookalike has a Web site.

Boy would Abbot and Costello have fun with this one. What's your Name needs some apostles traveling along with him with names like "No, You First", "None of your business", and "Please introduce yourself."
