Art. . . oh my goodness

So take a gander at the interior of Holy Resurrection Serbian Orthodox Cathedral, Chicago.  How hard it would be to become distracted with all of these images pointing you back to what was going on around you and how that directed to what God was preparing in the grand eschatalogical consummation of all that He began for the saving of sinners and the redemption of those lost.

    Because white walls, no images, no statues and a bare empty cross is really so much better, and then add a service without communion. Perfect.

    Pastor, I'm sensing that your statment is sarcastic and a commnet on iconoclasm?
