An address by the Minister, Rev. Rob MacPherson - recorded on Sunday, 29th July, 2018 in the Unitarian Meeting House in Adelaide. In this address, Rob reflects on the iconography to be found in places of worship around the world - sometimes venerated, prayed to, decorated, kissed, danced to, and offered sacrificial giving. In contrast, non-conformist traditions - Quaker, Congregationalist, Unitarian - seem "cleansed" of iconography. But are they? He cites examples of Unitarian icons that risk becoming idolatry - even the Ministry itself! Rob also warns of the many icons and idols abounding in our wider society and urges caution whenever our icons risk morphing into idolatry - to entrap and enslave us.
