LOVELAND, COLO. (AP) -- The artist behind an artwork destroyed in Loveland will create a new painting for a church there.
The pastor of Resurrection Fellowship, Jonathan Wiggins, told church members during weekend services that Enrique Chagoya will create a portrait of Jesus.
The offer came up during discussions they had been having after the display of Chagoya's work drew protests at the Loveland Museum.
It shows what appears to be the head of Jesus on top of the body of a woman engaged in a sex act. Chagoya says it's about the corruption of the spiritual.
A Montana woman is accused of destroying the work. Denver's KMGH-TV reported that Wiggins suggested that Chagoya create a new work showing an image of Christ representing love and understanding.
