    Logo Design Reflects Assembly Theme 
 
    The Presbyterian Outlook 
 
CHARLOTTE,N.C.-The logo for the 210th General Assembly, which illustrates 
the theme "Light for the Journey," was designed by Judy Morrison, a member 
of First Church, Monroe, N.C.  The theme comes from Psalm 119:105: "Your 
word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." 
    The circular logo includes deciduous trees as a reminder of death and 
new life in the resurrection.  Trees also represent knowledge and growth 
which come from studying God's Word. 
    Rolling hills are a reminder of the terrain in the Piedmont. 
    The two burning lamps show Jesus' dual nature, both human and devine. 
The lamps are also a symbol of the Bible and God's illumination of the 
spirit. 
    Three bibles representing the many language translations of the Bible 
as well as faith, hope and love, form steps up to the denominational 
symbol.  The bookmark represents the individual Christian, who must enter 
into the Bible and keep a place there.
