God’s Mission, Our Gifts The Mission and Service of The United Church of Canada

The United Church CrestThe church crest is the official signature of The United Church of Canada and

visually presents the cornerstone of our faith and the traditions that shape us. As

such, the crest displays our spiritual and historic roots. At the 41st General Council

in August 2012, the United Church acknowledged the presence and spirituality of

Aboriginal peoples in the church by revising the crest.

Three churches joined together in 1925 to become the United Church. The open

Bible represents the Congregational churches with their emphasis upon God’s truth

that makes people free. The dove is emblematic of the Holy Spirit (Mark 1:10)

whose transforming power has been a distinctive mark of Methodism. A symbol

of Presbyterianism, the burning bush refers to the bush that burned and was not

consumed (Exodus 3:2), and it signifies the indestructibility of the church.

The oval shape echoes the outline of a fish, a symbol of identity adopted by early

Christians because the initials of the words “Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour”

spell the Greek word for fish. As the first letter of the Greek word for Christ, the

“X” at the centre is a traditional symbol of the Saviour. The symbols alpha and

omega in the lower quarter are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet.

They symbolize the eternal living God, in the fullness of creation (Revelation 1:8).

The background colours of the quadrants of the crest now reflect four traditional

colours of the Aboriginal medicine wheel. Each colour represents a different cor-

ner of the world and carries specific teachings: yellow for the east, black for the

south, red for the west, and white for the north.

In the perimeter ribbon, the Latin words ut omnes unum sint mean “That all may

be one.” Taken from John 17:21, they remind us that we are both a “united” and

“uniting” church. The French translation of The United Church of Canada—

L’Église Unie du Canada—was added by the 28th General Council in 1980. A

phrase from Canada’s many Indigenous languages is the latest amendment: Akwe

Nia’Tetewá:neren* (“All my relations”). These Mohawk words share Aboriginal

peoples’ understanding of Christ’s vision that encompasses all. Mohawk was

chosen because the first documented ministry between Aboriginal peoples and

the founding denominations began in 1822 between the Mohawks and Methodist

missionaries.

Through God’s grace, we are indeed a “united” and “uniting” church, and we live

this out even in our crest. Thanks be to God.

Why no online ordering?We’ve received feedback that churches would like to be able to order bulletins online. Unfortunately we can’t offer that this year due to an upcoming overhaul of www.UCRDstore.ca.

We are hoping to offer online ordering for the 2020 bulletin covers next year. Please be assured that we’ve heard you—and that we’d love to have online ordering too!
