The particular form of the cross on our building is referred to as the "Portate Cross" from the Latin word "portare" which means "to carry." You'll sometimes hear it referred to as "the carried cross," reminding us that Jesus carried his cross to Calvary, and also called those who would be followers of him to "take up their cross and follow me." It is also often referred to as the St. Andrew's cross which is a part of the denominational logo of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) with whom we affiliate.
