The messages can be quite powerful, regardless of whether one's a believer or not Born and raised as a Seventh-day Adventist, imagery in worship was limited, if allowed at all.  This was a difficult thing for me for I craved being visual in my liturgical experience.  My mind was filled with images of Heaven, saints, etc... Non-tangible concepts needed to be expressed in a more "prehensile" manner.  The arrows penetrating a Saint Sebastian's flesh didn't hurt until I made them sink the skin around it.  The nails that held the Christ to the cross were not strong enough to keep him there until I nailed them there. Growing up in a Catholic country, a lack of imagery just didn't fit me right. Estefán Gargost
