The Off-Center Cross
The off-center cross was first used in a public service of worship on September 29, 1946 at the ordination of Earle McKinney in Foxborough, Massachusetts at our church. The off-center cross was officially adopted as a symbol of Universalism in Massachusetts by the Massachusetts Universalist Convention in 1947.
