Christian Flags and Their History
 

On September 26, 1897, at Brighton Chapel on Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York, the Christian Flag was originally imagined. Charles C. Overton, the superintendent of a Sunday school, spoke to the pupils in attendance on the spot because the invited speaker was late. He asked the children to imagine what a banner representing Christianity might look like during his speech. Overton mulled over his impromptu speech for many years. He created the flag with Methodist Young People's Missionary Movement secretary Ralph Diffendorfer in 1907, and they got to work spreading its message.
 

The flag was officially adopted on January 23, 1942, by the Federal Council of Churches, an ecumenical group that included representatives of the Baptist, Brethren, Eastern Orthodox, Episcopal, Methodist, Moravian, Lutheran, Oriental Orthodox, Polish National Catholic, Presbyterian, Quaker, and Reformed traditions, among others. The Federal Council of Churches has since been replaced by the National Council of Churches and Christian Churches Together. The Christian Flag was purposefully created without any copyright or trademark protection because its creator freely donated it to all of Christendom. The Christian Flag is a hymn with lyrics by Fanny Crosby and music by R. Huntington Woodman. The hymn is free to use, just like the flag. The Christian Flag celebrated its 100th anniversary on the Sunday closest to September 26, 1997.
 

Design and Symbolism
 

When it comes to the Christian symbolism of the Christian Flag, the white ground stands for purity. A blue square, representative of heaven, the home of Christians, and representing their faith and trust, is present in the upper corner. Blue is the color of baptismal waters. The cross, the flag and official emblem of Christianity, lies in the center of the blue; it is red to represent Christ's blood.
 

Christian Flag Pledge of Allegiance
 

Similar to the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag, certain churches and groups have a "pledge of allegiance" or "affirmation of loyalty" to the Christian flag. Following a flag presentation by Ralph Diffendorfer, Methodist pastor Lynn Harold Hough wrote The Pledge to the Christian Flag. This was then reworded into the slightly more descriptive finish, utilized in the majority of churches today. His original version first concluded very freely with: "... one brotherhood, joining all mankind [alternatively: all Christians] in service and love."
 

“I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Saviour for whose Kingdom it stands; one Saviour, crucified, risen and coming again with life and liberty to all who believe.”
 

Interesting Facts About the Christian Flag
 

• One of the oldest flags still in use today is the Christian flag.
   
• The only free flag in the entire globe is the Christian flag. It is distinct from every other flag, whether it be pagan or secular, old or new. It is unrestrained, autonomous, and all-encompassing. It has no earthly ties or allegiances, unlike all national flags and all denominational flags of various churches.
   
• There is a Christian flag code
   
  • A time of crisis gave rise to the code for the proper display of the Christian flag. A young preacher with a lot of drive who had just graduated from Yale University Graduate School was working his first full-time job. This happened in 1938. World War II's clouds enveloped the entire planet like a veil, obscuring Europe. Youth in America were being registered. It was a period of flag awareness.
      
  • The young minister faced an unforeseen issue in this situation. His interpretation of the mottoes "Christ Above All" and "Name Above Every Name" was that they intended to always give glory to Christ and the Cross. He placed the newly acquired American flag symmetrically opposite and to his right in the chancel, together with the newly acquired Christian flag. 
    
    
  • The right side was given respect in heraldry, the Apostles' Creed, New Testament connections, and societal usage. He had no idea how much of a sensation this would make. Some serious and inquisitive members confronted and questioned him. They presented him with a patriotic group's leaflet depicting the national anthem in the place of honor, as opposed to his choice of the Christian flag. His justifications were ignored. He then heard one of the interrogators, who was holding a brochure, say, "The diagrams are printed out right here. What have you written down?"
    
    
  • In 1938, there was no written documentation on which to rely for guidance on how to fly the Christian flag properly. The country was also preparing for war. The populace was overreactive and flag sensitive. Throughout the week, a covert changeover was made between the American and Christian flags. What was it that he had written? Nothing at the time. All he possessed was a strong conviction that the Cross of Christ should always come first. (Your author, James Russell Pollock, went by this name.)
    
    
  • The entire issue was brought up during the young minister's yearly church conference. He created and presented the written rules that would, in his opinion, make up a true Christian Code. It was adopted right away. This occurred 59 years ago. It has not changed, just like the Christian flag itself.
