I like the very early icons that have Christ as the good shephard. Its interesting that still even in the 6th century there are still some beardless Christ..

In reply to Christ's unprofitable servant, Seraphim. I am always grateful (and impressed) by people who take the concepts we understand in our Orthodox faith and work to make them accessible to the larger culture. That is what art, and all forms of creative expression, are about and why they are powerful modes of communication. I applaud Lynette Hull for taking on the challenge and doing it in such a coherent way.

Thanks for posting this, Father. I think it speaks to the fact that there are certain aspects of our American culture & particular circles of the population who are rediscovering the Aristotelian understanding (which is also the Orthodox Christian understanding) that a valid intellectual paradigm can be comprised of the bodily senses, the rational faculty as well as direct or spiritual apprehension. A welcomed throw back from the resultant scientific rationalism that the enlightenment produced.
