Flame–Word
The living presence that gives life, warmth, and light. Not earned and possessed, but received and tended.
Creature within creation,
held in communion
We are creatures, walking within a created world, held in communion with God, with one another, and with all that is.
Along the trail of time, we build and adapt structures to support the journey, gather as community to receive and carry the living presence, and through word, sacrament, service, and the light that reaches beyond us, we participate in a communion that has always been here and is still unfolding.
Flame to Light
Creature within creation,
held in communion.
Journey
Trail–Time
The passage through time, marked by those who traveled before us and be remade by those who follow.
Post–Systems
Structures that support and stabilize communities through time. They can be rebuilt, renewed, and adapted to context.
Lantern–Community
The gathered people who receive, tend, and carry the Word together.
Opaque parts–Sacrament
Protect, nourish, and sustain the inner life of the community.
Clear parts–Service
Make the flame visible beyond the community, allowing it to shine into the world.
Light–Evangelism
The illumination that reaches beyond the lantern, encountering others on the journey.
What are we preserving
through time?
The post, the lantern or the flame.
A visual meditation on Spirit, community, formation, participation, and the systems that hold them along the way.
