The Episcopal Church in Colorado announces a new logo:
Our new logo represents the good news of Jesus, our bold beauty, and our grounded resilience. The 5 outside petals represent the 5 regions of our diocese. The cross-shaped stamen represents Christ at the center of our many and diverse congregations.
The columbine flower represents aspects of both Colorado and the Church. An image of grace and resilience, this alpine wildflower flourishes in unexpected places. It represents the church growing in Colorado, accessible to all and boldly proclaiming the power of God’s love.
