The Cross and Flame is the official symbol of The United Methodist Church, adopted in 1968. The cross symbolizes Christ; the flame, the Holy Spirit of Pentecost. The dual flames together with the cross symbolize the trinity.

The dual flames actually represent the 1968 merger of the two denominations which make up the United Methodist Church – The Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren Church.
