Session 7: Why Does The Orthodox Church Use Icons & Images When The Bible Seems To Forbid Them?

When God gave the Law to Moses, He said "You shall have no graven images." So, why does the Orthodox Faith make use of Iconography in both worship and the experience of the faithful in their homes? In this session, Fr. James helps us understand what "graven images" were and we will clearly see that Iconography is not a disobedience to the Law. We also delve into the spirituality of Iconography and how it is such a gift to our experience of and growth in our Lord Jesus Christ.
