Title: The Wedgeblade 

wedgeblade picture The wedgeblade symbol is found throughout Shadow Rock's décor and literature and illustrates a faith that beckons us to be the change agents of history that both seek and bring God's justice, peace, and love into this world.

That portion of the symbol to the left of the vertical line represents "God's people," those who are willing to live with things as they are, accepting circumstances and conditions of the status quo. These people are followers, uncomfortable with risk, yet loved by God.

Those people to the right of the vertical line represent the visionaries and dreamers, the "people of God." The very tip of the wedgeblade represents the point of tension where leadership is the most demanding, where the known interfaces with the unknown. Those on the point live in "perpetual crucifixion." These are the pioneers, the risk-takers, the explorers ready to lead into the unknown. This prophetic minority must be willing to dare to walk in "no-person's land" for the good of all. God loves these people equally with all others. No one gets more 'points' than anyone else.

To the right of the symbol is unexplored territory with its concepts, experiences, and values. God's movement is always towards the future. Shadow Rock reminds its members and friends that by planting one foot on the point and one foot in the future, the leaders of society, those who can affect positive change, will be shaping the future of our earth and its inhabitants. The church itself struggles to live in this most risky and tenuous of places, on the "cutting edge."
