The seal of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is a symbolicstatement of our heritage and identity. The basic symbols in theseal are the cross, Scripture, dove and flames.

The cross is the dominant structural and theological element inthe design; it is the universal symbol of the Christian Church. Thecross represents the incarnate love of God in Jesus Christ, andhis passion and resurrection. The Celtic cross has long beenassociated with Presbyterian history and so it is the form of thecross used in the seal of our church,

Starting at the bottom of the cross there is first the visual image ofa lectern or pulpit, which illustrates the importance of preachingin the Presbyterian Church. Across the top of the pulpit, andforming the arms of the cross, is an open book, which reflects theemphasis that the Reformed tradition has placed on the role ofScripture as a means of knowing God's word. A descendingdove forms the upper portion of the cross. This is the symbol ofthe Holy Spirit. We believe that the Holy Spirit has a vital role inboth inspiring and interpreting the Scriptures in the life of thechurch. The dove also symbolizes Christ's baptism by John andthe peace and wholeness which his death and resurrection bringto our world.

Beside the lower part of the cross are two flames which form atriangle, the traditional symbol of the Trinity. The flames alsoreflect both books of the Bible. In the Old Testament, God spoketo Moses from the burning bush. In the New Testament, Christmanifested himself to his apostles at Pentecost and charged themto be messengers of the good news of God's love for all people.(The symbol for Pentecost is the flame,)

The triangle also suggests the nature of Presbyteriangovernment, which divides authority between ministers of theWord and laypersons and between different governing bodies.This idea is based on the Reformed emphasis on the covenant,which God establishes with people to affirm God's enduring loveand to call us to faith and obedience to Jesus Christ.
