Fr. Patrick Ramsey discusses with Andrew about the veneration of icons. Andrew (Anglican) has written an online article on the subject based on Fr. Richard Price's (Roman Catholic) translation and commentary of the Second Council of Nicaea (787) and wanted to go through the article with Fr. Patrick (Orthodox). The discussion circulated around the historical practice of venerating icons and its legitimacy.
It is not always easy to understand a tradition just by reading its texts, often we need to meet and discuss so that potential misunderstandings and even caricatures can be resolved. Due to the many thoughtful questions that Andrew brought to the table, and responses by Fr. Patrick, this discussion will be helpful, I hope, for everyone interested in this subject, no matter what the reason for this interest may be.
