Mark Harris, writing at his Preludium blog, has let us know about the “new” Anglican Alliance and its logo. What do you think about this project, and what do think about the logo?
From the Anglican Communion News Service:
First Anglican Alliance consultative conference opens, new mapping tools and logo launched
Delegates from throughout Africa and from all other regions of the world opened the first consultative conference for the Anglican Alliance in Nairobi yesterday (Monday 11 April)
Co-hosting the consultation five-day conference with the Alliance, the Council of Anglican Provinces of Africa (CAPA) set out its blueprint for organisation of the church, and its strategy for development, focusing especially on economic empowerment, education and HIV and Aids.
For south east Asia, Ms Elijah Fung from St Johns Cathedral of Hong Kong, set out the development of her region, and her own work on HIV and Aids, focussing especially on services for migrant workers. Fr Alejandro Manzoni of Promocion Humana, the Anglican development agency in Uruguay spoke of the need to get some regional co-ordination to meet the challenges of the region, which were around exploitation of the environment, and increasing inequalities, despite the economic growth.

The Anglican Alliance is off and running. We wish it God’s speed. Nice write up on the Anglican Communion News pages HERE.
Then again, there’s news in that write-up about the LOGO for the Anglican Alliance, also launched today. Here is the logo:
The thing is, given the obscurity which haunts the workings of much of the Anglican Communion apparatus, what precisely is this logo all about? There is the star, OK, the star of what? Bethlehem? The Compass Rose writ strangely? What? And then there is the green and fertile land thingy, which sort of looks like the British Isles or may not, or perhaps Europe, or maybe the rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouching towards Bethlehem to be born? What? And what of the colors? Red and yellow, black and white, they are equal in His sight? And the green? The green shall lead the pack?
