Episcopal Church of the Resurrection For the Christian, God revealed his love for humankind in the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, and He shares his spirit with those who believe. The center of this cross, the unseparated heart and dove, are symbols of this truth. The rough-hewn cross contrasts with the golden center and its radiance. The altar railing plays on the gothic arch motif of the altar and ambo, turning the figure horizontal and end to end in six-foot panels. 1 | 2 | 3
