One Family in Christ

Design Represents:  When my husband and I were married, I was Roman Catholic and he was Episcopalian.  I joined the Episcopal Church shortly after we were married.  When we moved to Salem, we searched for a local church.  We visited several churches in the area, We were drawn to the Salem Presbyterian Church by the wonderful reception of the members of its congregation.  They made us feel welcomed and treated us as we were part of the family.  We are now Presbyterians.  We both feel that our religious affiliations in the past provided a sound basis for our recognition of the openness and tolerant love of the people of Salem Presbyterian Church. 

The design of the quilt patch represents that tolerance in that the upper left corner is the sign of the Roman Catholic Church, the upper right, the Episcopal Church, and the center bottom, the Presbyterian Church.  We are truly part of the "One Family In Christ."
