- The Modern Heraldry
Company will design and fashion
Ecclesiastical Coat of Arms (COAs) for clergy (i.e.
priests, rabbis, deacons, bishops and ministers) and their
congregations. But please be aware that Ecclesiastical
heraldry is different from standard heraldry in many ways.
(see below)
(Individual
Heraldry) COAs developed
for leaders in faiths using standard Catholic, Anglican
and Orthodox rules have a certain number of tassels and
colored hats that correspond to their ecumenical rank.
In contrast, many protestant religions forego the use
of tassels and have simple designs; with miters, crosses
and crosiers behind their field. Also one thing to keep
in mind is that regardless of the sect, common practice
within Christian heraldry excludes supporters for personal
COAs. The MHC follows these norms and will check many
different sources to ensure accuracy of a design before
it is presented...
(Congregational
Heraldry)
While not as restrictive, heraldry for churches, congregations
and dioceses are usually quite simple outside of the field.
Normally most have only a gilded miter, crosses and crosiers
in addition to the field. Some may have mottos and supporters
but this is not common. Finally, congregational COAs will
not have helmets and thus no mantling as well...
