Semper Reformanda
Gloria in excelsis Deo

An explanation of our logo

The Cross

Behind all is the cross which is the central focus of out faith.  We trust in a Saviour and obey a Lord who has been crucified.  This particular cross is the St George's cross, which is flown on the flag of our country, England, and, of course, Iden Green is in the parish of St George.

The Burning Bush

Imposed upon the cross is the burning bush of Exodus, and of the revelation of God to Moses.  At the bush Moses was required to remove the shoes from his feet because of the presence of God who is perfectly holy.  We are reminded that we cannot be casual about the LORD.  He makes demands of us and requires holiness.

The Sword of the Spirit

God's instrument, in bringing us to faith in Christ and working in us holiness, is His Word as it is powerfully applied by the Holy Spirit. Never can we be without the Word of God before us.

The Latin text

Semper Reformanda - Always Reforming; Gloria in excelcis Deo - Glory to God in the highest.  These were the watchwords of the reformation.  All must be for the glory of God.  The first question in the Westminster catechism is: What is the chief end of man?  and the reply: Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him for ever.  The way to glorify God is by holiness - by reformation.  We can never be complacent on account of what God has already done in our lives and among us, but rather we must be ever seeking further influence and refinement by the Holy Spirit that we may become holy.
