Our Shield

Picture


The shield of the Progressive Episcopal Church is a white shield with a red cross and a blue compass of eight points.

The white shield with a red cross is historically associated with Saint George and England. The Progressive Episcopal Church adopted the Saint George's Cross and shield as a reminder of the Ancient Heritage of the Anglican expression of the Christian faith tradition.

The blue compass of eight points is a reference to the Eight Progressive Principles of the Progressive Episcopal Church. The Eight Principles are inspired by the 8 Points of Progressive Christianity as articulated by the Center for Progressive Christianity. The use of a blue compass pointing in the four cardinal and four intercardinal points of a directional compass is a testament to the universality of the Good News of Love and a reminder of the continuous progress required of the Christian faith tradition in order to be adaptable and relevant to the contemporary realities of the Human experience in each generation.   

What does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.    -- Micah 6:8
The Progressive Episcopal Church is a fellowship of progressive Christian communities based in the Anglican tradition and should not be confused with organizations bearing similar names. The Progressive Episcopal Church is independent of the Church of England and the Anglican Communion. The Progressive Episcopal Church is not affiliated with TEC/ECUSA.
