The Church of the Brethren logo combines the cross, a circle and a wave. The cross recalls our baptism into Christ's death and resurrection. The circle, partially defined, represents the world into which we are sent by Christ and affirms that as members of Christ's body we are members of one another. The wave connotes new life in Christ "born of water and the Spirit" (John 3:5), and further evokes Biblical images of water that symbolize justice, service and renewal.
