The IRCA Emblem
The emblem above was gifted to IRCA by K M D
Henry, Artist with the Church of South India, as the logo for the 2002
Chennai Conference.
As the artist says, it symbolically denotes:
Rural Indian women carrying their sons with
their heads covered
Women and children represent the voices of the
voiceless in India
They also look like Mary carrying her baby Jesus
In a closer look the women look like praying
hands in the church
The dome shape represents church architecture
with a cross in it
The symbolic human form of the cross represents
Jesus on the cross
The same cross looks like the Holy Spirit
descending upon those in the church
The cross also resembles the India map
The outer circle is the globe and the inner
circle the oneness of the church (Ecumenism)
The church is the voice of / for the voiceless
The script in between the circles is yet
another step towards the new order of the world
The whiteness around the church (in the colour
version there is a rim of light around in inside church shape) is the
new light that the ‘Voices’ aim to bring in the world.
