As long as we Protestants aren't expected to pray to Icons (sorry, we Protestants still feel that such an act would be Idolatry), we are able to appreciate the use of Icons for Education and Contemplation purposes.

Just as long as you aren't required to affirm the Helvetic Confession of Faith.

“But in fact in order to instruct men in religion and to remind them of divine things and of their salvation, the Lord commanded the preaching of the Gospel (Mark 16:15)--not to paint and to teach the laity by means of pictures. Moreover, he instituted sacraments, but nowhere did he set up images.”

This seems to me to suffer from the same fatal flaw that much of theology in the denomination I left did - an assumption that what is not mentioned is forbidden.

Presbyterian Laymen are not required to submit to any formal Confession of Faith. We are simply required to submit to our Presbyters.
