INDIANA - The logo of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is a red chalice with St. Andrew's Cross. The chalice represents the centrality of Communion to the life of the church. The cross of Saint Andrew is a reminder of the ministry of each person and the importance of evangelism, and recalls the denomination's Scottish Presbyterian ancestry. The denomination's stately archives are in Nashville, TN while the administrative headquarters for this congregation of about 1 million is in Indianapolis where one of their eight seminaries, Christian Theological Seminary is also located. The denomination history goes back to the Second Great Awakening in the 19th Century.
