IFCMD exists to foster a welcoming embrace of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender people in both membership and all positions of leadership in religious life.

The various symbols in our logo and their respective paths are described below:

		Atheist/Secular Humanist – The organized religious atheist/secular humanist demands thought and reason and a human-based moral and ethical code. A reasoned mind is welcome to discussion. The symbol is of the carbon atom, one of the most basic elements of life.
		Buddhist – The way of compassion in a world often filled with illusion demonstrates the principle of enlightenment, the “awakening” demonstrated by Gautama Buddha. The way is open. There are no barriers to the way.
		Christianity – The cross of wood, a symbol of sacrifice where the Divine meets the human life in its place of deepest need is pictured here without adornment. In Christ there is no male nor female, bond nor free, all are one.
		Druid – the Trees of Life and the Sacred Circle are the symbols of the study of Nature and the balance between the worlds. This is the symbol of the American Druid Fellowship (ADF), a recreation of the ancient ways.
		Ecumenicon – The Triple infinity is the living tree of life linking Earth and sky. Many traditions joining and retaining their own integrity. We welcome all seekers of positive faith traditions, and celebrate human diversity.
		Islam – Allah is greater. Greater than all created things. The symbol of the moon and the star are recognized world-wide for Muslim culture.
		Judaism – The Magen David or Star / Shield of David is believed by some to represent the most traditional and ancient Jewish symbol, the 7-branched Menorah. These symbols remind the Jewish people of the sacred service they are called to perform in sustaining and enhancing illumination in the world.
		Shamanism – Shamanic traditions seek inward to work outward. Traditional Shamans use drum and rhythm to find the place of the Ancestors to bring wisdom to the community. The Kokopele from Native American traditions shown here is captured at the moment of Shamanic trance dance.
		Sufism – The mystic path of Sufism is open to all. To discover the light and power latent within all human beings that is the secret of all religion, the power of mysticism, and the essence of philosophy, without interfering with customs or belief.
		Tribal – The Medicine Wheel shown simply here as the four sacred quarters and stones is used in expanded form by many Native American tribes and African tribal traditions. In many Native tribes GLBT people are considered the sacred storytellers, walking between the genders to bring wholeness.
		Unitarian-Universalism – The flaming chalice recalls the lighted candles in Transylvania in windows of the faithful where Unitarianism first started. A chalice recalls the universal symbol of water, and a flame of faith.
		Unity – The Unity symbol of the ankh, which combines the male phallus and female yoni together, symbolizes that both male and female are important and equal. God is love, and love is for everybody.
		Wicca – The modern tradition of witchcraft uses the symbol of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit in balance, the ancient symbol of the pentagram. Wicca is a tradition of balance and harming none.
