The second is a blue and green combination representing the waters and escarpment of the Illawarra. The first is bluerepresenting the beautiful water of the Shoalhaven. The four fingers of the hand also represent the four regions of our diocese. However, in the way that the Cross is the portent of redemption and life-an echo of the tree of life in the book of Genesis-so becoming bearers of the love of Christ will also bring us to life. The presence of the cross is a reminder that bearing the love of Christ will inevitably cost us if we live it authentically. We are reminded of this in two ways-through the symbol of the dove (the Holy Spirit) also present in the logo, and by the incorporation of the cross that segments the logo. We can be the bearers of his love only as a response to his call and in the strength of his grace. In this, we are the hand of Jesus Christ, and we are offering ourselves to him so that he might work through us. As a hand, it depicts our mission as a diocese and as individuals within the diocese, of bearing (bringing, carrying) Christ’s love to one another and to the world around us. Our diocesan logo is theologically rich and very succinct.
