Theological Declaration of Barmen

The Swastika Crossed Out and the Cross Rising - A protest and witness against Nazi tyranny and any effort to take the role of God and control of the church

The Fire - The suffering and death which follows from defense of the faith against tyranny, as for some of the Barmen signers. But the cross survives such persecution and crisis of war, rising out of the flames.
