The components of the logo are: - X (Chi) & P (Rho), the monogram of the name Christ (the first two letters of the name in Greek) - over the monogram, the Spirit-Mind-Body triangle representing the three-fold nature of man which is the YMCA's focus for working with people, and within the triangle, the Bible open at the page John 17:21: 'That they all may be one.' - the whole enclosed within two rings, the inner reinforcing the message of the verse regarding unity and fellowship, the outer representing the completeness of God's created order.
