“is there a problem when we are so devoted to an icon that it becomes a “distraction” when we cannot see it?”
We had a recent situation at our church where a group of people in our church could not see the cross during a special event. They felt like it was a distraction to them because they could not see it. This concerned me greatly because I feel that we (and this is possibly true in most churches) are so stuck on the symbol of the cross that we’re walking a fine line between remembering what was done on the cross and idol worship. Do not misunderstand. I love the cross as a symbol because of what Christ did for us… however, is there a problem when we are so devoted to an icon that it becomes a “distraction” when we cannot see it?
