- We do this primarily through the practice of writing icons.
- We engage in prayer as an important part of our prayer practice.
- We see icon writing as a way of bringing God to our communities and churches.
- We are an ecumenical group of people, honoring all denominations of Christianity equally, understanding that each one adds value to the world of iconography.
- Our purpose is to offer a forum for the exchange of ideas and icons.
- We hope to bridge the gap between twenty-first century contemporary culture and Christian Spirituality.
- We believe the importance of spreading the joy of icon writing throughout the world.
- There are no dues or fees. This is a creative and free group that respects the differences in styles and religion of each member.
- comments or suggestions to the group or to individual members needs to be kind and supportive.
