     shining into the world
  the message of the Gospel is proclaimed to the north, south,
    east, and west, represented by the cross’s reach to all directions
    of the synod’s large geographic area and into all the corners
    of the earth
  we proclaim Christ, crucified and risen, represented by the cross
    and the sun, superimposed over the “chi,” the Greek “X,” which
    is a monogram for Christ
