UNITED KINGDOM---Several artworks by the artist
Russell Haines installed at Gloucester Cathedral as part of an exhibition celebrating religious diversity were stolen or vandalized. The
Observer reports that Haines’ exhibition, titled “
Faith,” caused a stir last month when it first opened, with Christian groups slamming the use of Islamic images inside the 11th-century cathedral, and the reciting of a Muslim prayer in the show. But now, a number of paintings out of the 37 that were on display, alongside video projectors and sound systems, have been stolen. [
