The Humble Beginnings of the Christian Flag

The Christian flag is somewhat unique among religious flags in that it doesn't represent or have ties to any specific denominations or sects but rather, represents all Christians.

And though you might think that the design was derived from some ancient source, the truth is far more interesting. You see, the Christian flag was conceived little more than a hundred years ago, almost by accident (some would say, myself included, that the event was providential) in a small chapel in Brooklyn, New York!

It happened one Sunday in September of 1897 at Brighton Chapel on Coney Island that a speaker who had been invited to address the Sunday School failed to show. The Superintendent, one Charles Overton, was forced to stand in. Overton had not anticipated the crisis and was therefor, completely unprepared to speak.

As the story goes, upon taking the pulpit, he looked about searching for an idea for his impromptu address when he spotted the American flag which was displayed off to one side. He first began speaking about the American flag and what it represents, then challenged the students to think about what a Christian flag might look like. From that humble beginning came one of the most flown and recognized flags in the world today.

The design of the flag is simple and takes it's cues from the basic format of the American flag, but the symbolism is powerful. The Cross represents Jesus Christ, its red color stands for the blood he shed for our sins, and the white shows that when we accept the sacrifice that was made on our behalf, we are cleansed of our sins.
