Seeking advice: My church has large painting of "Jesus Christ" in the sanctuary.
My church has a large painting of "Jesus Christ" hanging in the sanctuary that is about 4x4 ft big.
I feel that I should say something about this. How would I go about it? Should I speak to a deacon? Request a meeting with the elders? Or talk to the Pastor?
Thanks,
Brent
Update
I e-mailed an Elder and he would like to bring this up at the Elder meeting this upcoming Monday...
Another Update
I got an e-mail back from one of my Elders and they have decided that the Second Commandment deals with worshipping idols and not images of God. He went on to say "The pictures we have in the church are there to enhance our worship of God, we are in no way bowing down to or worshipping the pictures themselves."
Of course I don't agree. What am I to do now? Any advice?
