| Two standard expressions of Brethren belief are The
Apostle's Creed and the church emblem, shown on the home page of this
site. The emblem brings together three important elements of the Christian
faith: the cross, the open Bible, and the chalice. The cross represents
Christ as the resurrected and living Lord, the Bible is the sourcebook
of all Christian truth, open for all to explore, while the chalice holds
special significance for Brethren: not only is it a symbol of the Lord's
Supper, but it is also a reminder of the pre-Reformation insistence of
John Hus and the early Brethren upon receiving the Cup as well as bread
in Holy Communion. |
