Before you do so, please note: I am not the artist who made the work that everyone is so upset about.... I am an artist who was commissioned to work in partnership with groups and individuals about Faith and Sexuality. It was part of a larger programme called sh[OUT] which looks at Contemporary Art and Human Rights of the LGBTI community.

Some newsmedia have reported that there is a work: "...inviting people to deface a Bible." This is simply not true, and is lazy reporting. The work originally put on display was a gesture inviting people to write their names into the margins of the Book as a way to show the marginalization of LGBTI from religion(s) as well as to express their desire to be part of God's love. It was, in fact, the opposite of an "invitation to deface" but (I paraphrase the artist here): a chance for people to participate in a small act of worship, and for some who do not see a Bible, a chance that they would engage with the Book and perhaps plant some small seeds of Faith.

If you are offended by the actual act of writing into a Bible, may I point out that many priests and vicars, lay-person and the like have often written small notes about certain passages as a way of thinking and praying about specific topics. Perhaps you yourself have underlined a particularly meaningful phrase or verse to remind you of its power and meaning.

If you are offended by what people wrote into the Bible, then, unfortunately, that is outwith the control of the Artist who made the work, outwith the control of the Gallery of Modern Art, and certainly outwith the control of me. The majority of the texts written into the margins were pleasant and respectful. Those who did write obscene words (including, apparently, the news photographers who wanted to make a more saucy story) are the people you should be angry with.

The artist who did make the work has said to the Times newspaper: "The Bible should never be used like that. It was our intention to reclaim it as a sacred text."

Unfortunately, we don't know who the people who wrote those offensive things are... so we are receiving the brunt of the vitriol and anger, which is both unfair and irrational (not to mention highly unpleasant).

Art allows us to ask difficult questions about our society and to raise difficult issues to address - if this work has highlighted the importance of the Bible, or indeed other issues, then this is a good thing, although, it has happened in a unpleasant way for everybody involved...What we need to do now is stop blaming innocent people, sending angry and threatening emails to them, and stop accusing people of being disrespectful, when they have not done anything of the sort. All the does is increase the levels of hate in the world, and I personally think we have enough hate already - surely you are rational and intelligent enough to see that.

Most of all, we need to stop judging (leave that to God, for those who believe in him), especially judging before you have had first hand experience the work - I believe that is called prejudice, and is certainly not Christian.
