What is a worship flag or banner.

A BANNERFLAG IS A FLAG AND A BANNER IN ONE. THE XLARGE BANNERFLAGS ARE DECLARATIVE WORD BANNERFLAGS THAT DECLARE WHAT THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS SAYING THROUGH THE CHURCH.

WORDS SUCH AS FREEDOM; LIBERTY; RESTORATION; JOY AND REJOICE ARE JUST A FEW WORD BANNERFLAGS THAT RAISED PRAISE CREATES.

DECLARE THESE DECLARATIVE WORDS OVER YOUR CONGREGATION, CITY, STATE GOVERNMENT!

PERSONAL WORSHIP WITH A FLAG:

I RECOMMEND THAT WHEN SOMEONE IS RELEASING A DANCE UNTO THE LORD, THAT THEY USE AS LARGE A FLAG AS POSSIBLE. THE SWEEPING OF THE FLAG IS A BEAUTIFUL AND GRACEFUL WAY TO COMMUNICATE FEELING AND EMOTION, AND IT'S HARD TO DO THAT WHEN YOU ARE USING A SMALL, INCONSPICUOUS FLAG.

IF YOU ARE PRESENTING A SOLO DANCE I RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE A FLAG AT LEAST 30" WIDE BY 50" LONG. DESIGNS ON FLAG SHOULD STAY SIMPLE . REMEMBER YOUR DANCE IS WHAT COUNTS, NOT THE FLAG ITSELF. THE PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING YOUR WORSHIP IN DANCE, NOT JUST THE FLAG.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FLAGS AND BANNERS

BANNER: AN ENSIGN OR SIGNAL TO SHOW A SYMBOL OR TO DISPLAY A FEELING. USE TO RALLY A PEOPLE TOGETHER. IT OFTEN HOLDS A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BEARER TO BE CLEAR IN HIS MESSAGE OR THE MESSAGE OF HIS STAFF OR BANNER HE IS HERALDING.

WORSHIP WITH A BANNER

WHEN RAISING A BANNER, WHETHER IT'S HEAVY CLOTH OR LIGHT WEIGHT SILK, YOU ARE DECLARING THE MESSAGE UPON THE BANNER AND THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOCUS.

FLAGS: A FLAG IS GENERALLY SMALLER THAN A BANNER. FLAGS ARE OFTEN SOLID OR MULTI COLORED. TROOP OR GROUP FLAGS SHOULD (IF POSSIBLE) BE DESIGNED WITHOUT WORDS. TEAM FLAGS WHETHER SOLID OR MULTI COLORED SHOULD BE SIMPLY DESIGN, AS THIS WILL HELP TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF THE FLAG.

I CALL MY TROOP FLAGS "MY WORKER FLAGS" BECAUSE OF THE FREQUENCY OF USE. TROOP OR GROUP FLAGS ARE GREAT FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS.

Vexillology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vexillology is the scholarly study of flags. The word is a synthesis of the Latin word vexillum, meaning 'flag', and the Greek suffix -logy, meaning 'study'. The vexillum was a particular type of flag used by Roman legions during the classical era; its name is a diminutive form of the word velum meaning 'sail', and thus literally means 'little sail'. Unlike most modern flags, which are suspended from a pole or mast along a vertical side, the square vexillum was suspended from a horizontal crossbar along its top side, which was attached to a spear.

The term was coined in 1957 by the American scholar Whitney Smith,^[1] the author of many books and articles on the subject. It was originally considered a sub-discipline of heraldry, and is still occasionally seen as such. It is sometimes considered a branch of semiotics.^[2] It is formally defined in the FIAV (Fédération internationale des associations vexillologiques) constitution as "the creation and development of a body of knowledge about flags of all types, their forms and functions, and of scientific theories and principles based on that knowledge." A person who studies flags is a vexillologist; a person who designs flags is a vexillographer; and any person who simply likes, admires, or enjoys flags is a vexillophile.

Every second year FIAV organizes the International Congress of Vexillology (ICV). The 2007 ICV was in Berlin, Germany; the 2009 ICV was in Yokohama, Japan; the 2011 ICV will be held in Washington, DC, USA (washingtonflagcongress.org). Internet activity of vexillologists is centered on the Flags of the World website and mailing list.
