The Parable is a public artwork by American artist Jimilu Mason, located at The Festival Center – an evangelical ministry – at 1640 Columbia Road, N.W. in Washington, D.C. The bronze sculpture shows a man seated on a large cinder block and at his feet is a carpenters square. Dressed in only a shirt and pants, his shirt sleeves are rolled up above his elbows and his collar is open. His face wears a beard and mustache and his feet are shoe-less. His arms reach out in front of him, and he looks as if in conversation. According to the sculptor, Jimilu Mason, the sculpture "represents a Christ... teaching that there is more than brick and mortar to building a city. The leaders must be good servants."
