    I completely agree with you. Icons can and should be made from whatever we can find even computers!!!! You can print them out on paper put them in your wallet. Any media is fine.

    I agree, but it is not a law passed down to us from Christ the Word directly from the Gospels. It is late Church tradition, even tho inspired and blessed by Christ, still a human tradition. I say this so people do not say things like...tempara is the only way to paint, or that icons should be...

I would also recommend this book for anyone wishing to begin creating icons as it is very practical but also covers the raw simple basics of icon history and theology. This is...

    what about the Orthodox!

    I think that what matters is that we know who we are, and that if someone approaches we can welcome them to our table and show them what we have to offer. In the end I also believe it is important to never lose ourselves in the struggle between churches, faiths, be true to yourself, do not worry...

    Dear Josh...

    Very good poem, please keep writing more. Poetry, literature, indeed even our minds contain eternal wisdom, contain reflections of infinity, since we are made in His image, every thought you share with us reaching out some how, is reflection of God, and God has no beginning nor end, so what...
