William Countryman used icon language for priesthood too in Living on the Border of the Holy. Standing at the altar my prayer is that I stay out of way of the Spirit.

This reminds me of Rev Elizabeth Edman's quote from her book "Queer Virtue":

"A priest is someone who stands in a place of remarkable vulnerability, and by doing so, invites other people to enter the sacred."

Thank you!
