Description of the animation: The Compass Rose Flag of the Anglican Communion was designed in 1954 by Canon Edward N. West of the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in New York for the Second International Anglican Congress in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Compass Rose was modernized in 1988 and the new design was laid into the floor of Canterbury Cathedral during the Twelfth Lambeth Conference of Anglican bishops.
At the centre of the circular emblem is the Cross of St George, a reminder of the origins of the Anglican Communion,
and a link unifing the past to the Communion today. Encircling the
cross is a band bearing the inscription, "The Truth shall make you
free." It is written in the original New Testament Greek, the traditional language of scholarship within the Anglican Communion.
From the band radiate the points of the compass. The compass symbolizes
the worldwide spread of the Anglican Faith. Surmounting the shield, at
the North, is a mitre, the symbol of apostolic order essential to all Churches and Provinces constituting the Anglican Communion.
The design was adapted with the colors of blue and gold and made into a flag by Canadian-born priest, Father Andrew Notere. The Archbishop of Canterbury received the first flag at Lambeth Palace in December 1990, and the flag was officially inaugurated at the Meeting of the Primates of the Communion in Belfast in April 1991.

All flag animations are made by the staff at our blog and are
created with graphics attributed to the public domain at both Wikipedia
and by some visitors that have requested that flag animations be made
for their own Denominations or church groups.
To read about how we make the flags go the the index page. To request animated flags for your own church:
- Visit your churches denominational pages to request that they contact our gallery staff via email to make inquiries about including their own versions on our web pages. Many logos are copyrighted and are only free to use under special permissions. So if you do not see your Denomination's flag represented here, it may be because it has not been filed at Wikipedia under "fair use" or tagged as public domain.
- If your flag design is for a church youth group or a missions organization we will make the animation for you. However, if we make it, it will be included on this blog for others to download.
- There are no fees for the making of flag animations.
- You may contact Kathy Grimm at pickandprintgallery@yahoo.com and she will pass on the information.
