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. |
