Summary
DescriptionCommunity of Christ Seal.jpg |
English: Photo of historical Community of Christ seal from Nauvoo, Illinois. Per Community of Christ 1917 General Conference Resolution 163, its the-lamb-&-the-lion seal was altered thus: Hence as early 1917 iterations similar to this brass/bronze plaque were posted on the denomination's various churches and buildings, their seals featuring the motto "PEACE" with pictorial relief of the Peaceable Kingdom--viz., a child, the lamb, and the lion together without ire--and with script around its circumference bearing the then name of the denomination: "REORGANIZED CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS". Note that this exact iteration of the seal however dates from the 1950s as it has braiding around the outside (removed in the 1960s) and two olive branches at its bottom (in the 1960s: simplified to one olive branch). According to denomination historian John Hamer, "Since the late 19th century, the [Community of Christ] church seal has been a picture of the lamb, lion, and child emblazoned with the motto 'Peace.'" https://saintsherald.com/2013/11/29/how-blessed-the-day-when-the-lamb-and-the-lion/ Indeed, the seal approved in 1874 by the Community of Christ's General Conference had contained the lion and lamb and a child:
Its iconographic representation of peace is derived from Isaiah 11:6,7: "The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox." Community of Christ Sings! (Independence, MO: Herald Publishing House. 2013) #384: "The Spirit of God Like a Fire is Burning" (verse 3):
(Cf.: Commons.Wikimedia.org/wiki/File:William Strutt Peace 1896. Furthermore, in heraldry, the lamb often represents "Christ"; the lion, "the Resurrection. (Cf.: "He endured death as a lamb; he devoured it as a lion." – Augustine, Sermon 375A.)
