A Hallowed Quaternity

Summary

The God of the Seas gave inspiration to the World Council of Churches whose logo depicts a ship sailing on the waters. Rising from the ship’s deck is a mast and spar in the form of the cross of Christ. Below the ship, as though floating on the ocean waters, is the Greek word, “Oikoumene” from which the term ‘ecumenical’ derives, means ‘the whole inhabited earth.’” The earth’s oceans unite all the world’s continents. The waves that lap against the shores of Europe and Asia, the Americas, Africa, Australia and Antarctica, all come from the same source: the God of the Seas. They remind us that we are one people, one God-created human race. The Covenant-Pass we hold with the God of the Seas is made possible because of Christ’s work at the cross. Isaiah reminds us that the God of the Seas knows us and loves us fiercely.
