Note: The following
downloadable CME Logo graphic files have been added to this
site. The graphic files may be used by our Connectional
churches to send to professional graphic layout and design
businesses (to produce a large scale CME logo printed on large
size banners). This logo has been provided courtesy of Mr.
Lonnie Goodson of the Arizona-New Mexico Region of the Ninth
Episcopal District.
The official logo or
symbol of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church was originally
authorized by Bishop B. Julian Smith for the Centennial General
Conference held in Memphis, 1970. It was officially adopted by
the General Conference in 1974 as the denomination's connectional
marker.
Designed by Will E.
Chambers, the logo shows the place of the Christian Methodist
Episcopal Church in the rapidly changing urbanized society and its
relation to God's people.
The logo is composed
of:
The World
Globe which represents the vineyard of God;
The Skyline
which stands for the Church's concern for human and
urban problems and
people's alienation from God and one another;
The Weather
Vane which symbolizes the need of the Church to be
flexible in terms of meeting the contemporary needs of people; and
The Cross
which denotes, by its vertical bar, the need for a proper
relationship between people and God, and by its horizontal bar, the
need for proper relationships between people. The total Cross
is a sign of the final-assured victory through the blood of Jesus
Christ.
