The sign in the centre of the Cross

An interposition of two Ancient Greek letter-symbols (X and R - i.e: Xi and Rho) signify Christ.

                                        The Red Cross                                                                    

Refers to the blood shed on the cross of Christ and the atoning significance of it. Colossians 1:20: “to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.” (ESV)

                                             The Shield                                                                          

Refers to the shield of faith in Ephesians 6:10-18, in particular vs 16: “In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one.” (ESV)

Symbolic of the Holy Scriptures upheld at BISA: Signifies God’s Word is open and available.
