At my Anglo-Catholic parish, we perform the Stations of the Cross every Wednesday in Lent, stopping before and looking up at a small carving of the appropriate activity as we speak/chant each station. Is this idolatry? I'm certainly not worshipping that carving.

I'm certainly not worshiping that carving. Well, I would certainly hope not you must remember you never Pray to an Icon you Pray in front of an icon there is the difference.

One other thing that I do not see in this article. Icons were the means by which the bible was taught in the early Church because most people at that time could not read. Just an FYI.
