Special Episode - The What and Why of The 7th Ecumenical Council with Bishop Chad


Listen Later

In this special episode, we welcome back Bishop Chad Jones to explore the Seventh Ecumenical Council (787 AD). Bishop Chad explains this council's historical context, theological significance, and its definitive stance on the use of sacred images in Christian worship. We discuss how the council addressed iconoclasm (the rejection of religious images) and affirmed that images are not merely optional but necessary for Christian worship because of the incarnation. We also cover practical applications of sacred imagery both in churches and homes, the theological distinction between adoration (latria) and veneration (dulia), and how Anglican Catholics understand this council as binding for the faithful. Bishop Chad concludes by addressing common Protestant objections to iconography and explaining why proper veneration of images doesn't violate the Second Commandment.
