How does this discussion relate to modern Protestant Churches being afflicted by a lack of imagery?  This isn't merely a stylistic choice, a preference for stylistic minimalism. For how you worship is a confession of what you believe. As with Luther, we should see and use iconography and images, especially the crucifix, as devotional aids. (They do say a picture is worth a thousand words!)  The perspective of Luther and the iconodules demonstrate to us the need there is to recapture some of that love for iconography today.
