The Episcopal Shield
This symbol, which you will see at every Episcopal Church, is the official "logo" of The Episcopal Church (TEC), and represents our history.
It is red, white and blue...the colors of both the USA and UK.
The red Cross of St. George on a white field is symbolic of the Church of England.
The blue field in the upper left corner is the Episcopal Church of the U.S.A. It features a Cross of St. Andrew, in re-cognition of the fact that the first American bishop was consecrated in Scotland.
This cross is made up of nine cross-lets or mini crosses, which represent the nine dioceses that met in Philadelphia in 1789 to form the Protestant Episcopal Church of the U.S.A. But, the cross-lets are not visible in this crayola representation above.
