About the Red
Chalice Symbol
The St. Andrew Cross, national cross of Scotland, focuses attention on
the Scottish Presbyterian roots of our church. For centuries, St. Andrew
has been identified with the laity and evangelism, prominent emphases of
the Disciples over the years.
The chalice bearing the X-shaped Cross of St.
Andrew, which has come to be the symbol our our church, was developed in
1969. The chalice symbolizes the centrality of the Lord's Supper as well
as the cup of Christian self-giving for the world.
The red
color of the chalice signifies vitality, spirit and sacrifice. |
