The Logo of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is a red chalice with a white St. Andrew's Cross. The chalice represents the centrality of Communion to the life of the church. The cross of Saint Andrew is a reminder of the ministry of each person and the importance of evangelism, and recalls the denomination's Scottish Presbyterian ancestry. The symbol was designed in 1969[18] by John Fulton and Robert Friedly.
The cross of St. Andrew is the flag of Scotland. I guess in Barry's World that's a "weird symbol".
Since 1949, Durhamites have slept soundly, secure in the knowledge that, in our town, erection can be depended upon. Now, thanks to the power of the internets, we can spread that security all over the world.

I wonder if the "X" on the chalice is supposed to be a reflection of a cross, or if it's some weird symbol I don't know anything about?

Scotland -- Ok, now it makes sense. I never would have known that was such a large denomination. Thanks.
