The Committee highlighted theological, biblical, and historical matters that require review in the drawing of icons and it proposed that that Ritual Committee deliver a seminar to present its observations that should be observed by Coptic artists so that the icons are in accordance with the Church’s doctrine and history. This has been approved.
