The Cross and Crown Trademark

The Cross and Crown Trademark which now appears in the banner at the top of our site is a Trademark of our Global church. You can about the Cross and Crown Trademark on The Mother Church Website.  In part that site explains:

Background

The Cross and Crown is a registered trademark of the Christian Science Board of Directors and has long been used on Mary Baker Eddy’s writings and the Christian Science periodicals to indicate the authenticity of these products.

The Cross and Crown is also emblematic of the unity that branches and church members have with The Mother Church and with each other, and of the fact that such unity is a result of members’ and branches’ individual and collective commitment to practicing Jesus’ four imperative statements, which appear in the circular band around the Cross and Crown.

In order to represent this broader meaning of unity and commitment to healing, we’re pleased to announce that Christian Science branch churches and societies, Christian Science Reading Rooms, and Christian Science Organizations at colleges and universities may request to use the Cross and Crown.

It is hoped that, as the Cross and Crown trademark is more widely used in the ways described, it will be increasingly seen by others as an identifying and unifying emblem of our Church.

We are delighted that our church here in Scarborough has been granted a license to use the Cross and Crown Trademark. We are committed to doing all we can to obey Jesus’ commands from Matthew 10 verse 8 that encircle the cross and crown emblem:

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons

We realize that striving to follow these commands demands a lot of us as Christians, and that we all have a huge amount to learn. We recognize that that we have to take up the cross, before we can win the crown.

Mary Baker Eddy – the discoverer of Christian Science and founder of our worldwide Church – wrote of herself:

To-day, though rejoicing in some progress, she still finds herself a willing disciple at the heavenly gate, waiting for the Mind of Christ.

(see Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy ix:16)

Like her, we are a church of willing disciples waiting and working for the Mind of Christ, and we’d love you to join us!
