What is the official Christian flag? Pledge to the Christian flag
The official Christian flag is what you primarily see on this page, it is a white flag with a blue canton and red cross.
There are a couple different pledges to the Chirstian flag depending on who you ask, who they are and where they attend. One of the first pledges to this official Christian flag was written by Methodist Pastor Lynn Harold Hough. He wrote:
"I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Saviour for whose kingdom it stands; one brotherhood, uniting all mankind in service and in love."
Who designed the Christian flag? History, Background and Meaning
The original design of the Christian flag actually comes to us from a Sunday school session in the east coast of the United States in the late 1800's, Brighton Chapel on Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York. A scheduled speaker had failed to show up to the class that day forcing Superintendent of the school, Charles C. Overton to lead the lecture. During his speech, he had asked the question of what a Christian flag might look like as his eyes caught gaze on an American flag in the classroom. The idea was proposed that Christians should have their own flag. This idea would stick with Overton for years to come. The Christian flag would finally see the light of day and its design finally come to fruition in 1907 with the help of Ralph Diffendorfer, secretary of the Methodist Young People's Missionary Movement,
The meaning behind the Christian flag goes as such, the white is for purity and peace, the blue square to stand for the waters of baptism and kingdom of Heaven, while the red cross is representative of the blood and sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Can you fly the Christian flag above the American flag?
When displaying religious flags along with the American Flag, on American soil, U.S. state or territory, embassies or ships, the American Flag will take precedence, except on very rare and certain special occasions. For example, when a church is in session or during services a Christian flag may be flown over the United States flag, but only during this time. You may also see a Christian flag above an American flag on United States naval ships at sea who are conducting their own church services.
