New Life (symbolised by the sprouting seed) is generated by the Holy Spirit (symbolised by curving lines) and continues to grow in the light of Christ (symbolised by the Cross). This process is a living, dynamic movement of the Spirit within each person, and is expressed by the outward movement of the curved lines reaching beyond self to embrace others.
