Presbyterians Sharing

Presbyterians Sharing is the national church fund that supports mission and ministry in Canada and around the world. The budget is approved each year at the General Assembly. We build strong congregations, serve vulnerable people, walk with Indigenous people, seek justice, create worship spaces welcoming for everyone and share God’s love around the world. Together we make mission and ministry happen.

The fish was chosen because of the early church’s use of the fish as a symbol of Christ and the Christian faith and church. It also recalls both the miracle of sharing (loaves and fishes) and the commission to be “fishers of people.” There are eight fish, which represent the eight synods in the PCC. Theologically, the number 8 refers to the 8th day (day of resurrection), which invokes the “new creation”—the reconciliation and renewal of all things.
The circle represents gathering, inclusion, unity, wholeness and the perfect everlasting nature of God. The fish are gathered together to signify our working together in collaboration.

The colour purple invokes the colour of majesty and reminds us both of Christ’s rule but also the kingdom we are to build on earth. The design includes two variations of the cross—the Greek cross (+) and the St. Andrew’s cross (x).
