Visitors running Gallery of Modern Art (Goma) Scottish city of Glasgow exhibition "Made in God's Image" ( "the image of God") is requested to write something on the pages of an open Bible. The first week of the project showed that the audience willingly leave autographs offending properties. The project initiated a liberal Church Metropolitan Community Church (MCC), Patronizing sexual minorities. According to the newspaper The Times, representatives of the Church of Scotland and Catholics outraged at what is happening.
Carried out the project two artists - Anthony Shreg (Anthony Schrag) and David Malone (David Malone). Shreg, commenting on what is happening, asks the question: "Does offended by those who it claims that visitors have written, or by the fact that someone can write in the Bible?". Explaining the idea of MCC, he said: "Once we open the Bible for discussion, then, of course, we allow people to express themselves ... Art can discuss complicated things, and gallery Goma allowed to arrange a difficult discussion.
However, the servants of Metropolitan Community Church, Jane Clark said that he regretted what had happened: "In the Bible can not be treated this way. Our plan was to return the understanding of the Bible as a sacred text."
Reviewer The Times notes that the objective of the exhibition was to break the barriers between traditional believers and representatives of sexual minorities.
July 22 exhibition organizers have indicated that they will be removed from the exposure the most offensive page, but representatives of the traditional denominations are still outraged by the fact of holding such an exhibition. In particular, the Church of Scotland characterized the events as blasphemy, and the representative of the Roman Catholic Church called the exhibit "infantile" and wondered whether enough would have the willpower to let the organizers of doing something similar with the Koran.
