The Tree of Light
The Assembly as a living structure — rooted in origin, carried through stewardship, and extended across generations.
The Ancestors
The foundation beneath all that exists and the source from which the Assembly draws its strength, identity, and continuity. Though unseen, they sustain everything above them.
The “N”
Signifies the beginning of the line through which the Assembly was first established — the founder, the origin of structure, and the point at which the institution became defined in the world.
The Steward
The Steward holds the structure together, connecting the foundation to all that grows outward — not standing above the Assembly, but serving as the living link that preserves continuity and direction.
The Black Community
Not separate from the Assembly, but the living body through which it exists. The Assembly is dedicated to them in full, and its purpose is carried through their presence, growth, and collective existence.
Their Descendants
The continuation of life across generations, the renewal of the people, and the visible expression of the future. Though generations change, the tree remains.
That Which Is Above All
The guiding purpose, the highest aim, and the reason for the Assembly's existence. It is not owned by any individual, generation, or structure. All parts of the tree grow toward it.
The Crown
The Crown exists within the Tree, and is bound to it, carrying responsibility, but never standing above the Light.
Together, the Tree of Light represents a complete and continuous whole, rooted in its ancestors, defined by its origin, held together through stewardship, expressed through its people, continued through future generations, and guided by a purpose greater than all.
The Tree of Light crest serves as the official seal of the Assembly — Article XX.
