Relocation to another church is the best option, but I imagine it rarely happens, unless the font is an exceptional piece. The Shipton Bellinger font is rather ugly (despite the Chancellor saying it is ‘not unattractive’) and no-one in their right mind would want it! But the Chancellor is right to give this as the first option.

Creative Market’s Free Goods of the Week (usually includes at least one font- free for that week only) This seems silly, as the ministry you offer is so much more important than how your branding looks, but think of it this way: There are likely more churches in town than there are brands of toothpaste at the grocery store. If we don’t have a recommendation or invitation from a friend, we often choose what looks most appealing.

In a Presbyterian church, the communion table is positioned at the front of the building on the platform. This is to show its importance. However, it is placed below the raised pulpit.

The fact that the communion table is close to the people and is not surrounded by a rail reflects the idea that nobody in the Presbyterian Church has more authority than another. Elders – elected by the congregation – help to distribute the bread and wine during Holy Communion. It is important to note that the best font-based logos are often special designs, or they are an existing typeface tweaked to give it unique touches. If you have a graphic design person on staff or can afford to hire someone, you may want to look into a custom or customized mark. The secret to pairing fonts is to create contrast while still making sure they look good together. Here are different types of contrast to consider:What is meant is that while the font is present in the church it will only be used for water for baptism. It is not intended to be used as a restriction on what might happen to a font that is no longer required…” Re St. Bartholomew Aldbrough [2019] ECC Yor 7 Petitioners sought to: reposition font and removal its plinth; and (2) remove eight pews. The DAC noted that due to the close proximity of the font to the rear pews, its plinth caused a tripping hazard (and one corner already bore warning tape to prevent this). The plinth was not original to the font and therefore it had no objection to its removal; the repositioning of the font was also perfectly reasonable. The Chancellor was satisfied that the removal of the plinth and the moving of the font will have no appreciable impact on the historic character or the historic interest of either the font

The Arches Court considered three propositions put forward by Mr McGregor regarding the circumstances in which a font might ever be sold or disposed of to another use: (i) a font is an essential part of the interior of a church; (ii) a font may not lawfully be put to any other use than the administration of Holy Baptism; (iii) a font which is no longer required for the purpose of the administration of Holy Baptism should be put beyond use, [paragraphs 37 to 57, summarized in Re St Philip Scholes in paragraph 38]. This allowed counsel for the petitioners, Miss Ruth Arlow, “to make the bold submission that not merely was the advice of the CBC much delayed, perfunctory and unhelpful, it was also wrong in law”. In his directions of 9 February 2016, the Chancellor directed the appointment of an amicus curiae to assist with the legal issues involved, but at the request of the petitioners’ solicitors, he cancelled this direction on the basis that Miss Arlow was to be instructed, noting: Macalister, Robert Alexander Stewart (1911). "Font". In Chisholm, Hugh (ed.). Encyclopædia Britannica. Vol.10 (11thed.). Cambridge University Press. p.605. These can easily be the same font, as long as you can deploy them in contrasting weights styles and/or weights. For example, there is a font family known as Museo which comes in both sans serif and slab serif versions. While that already provides contrast, each of them comes in multiple weights. So, for example, you could use a heavier slab serif for the headline and a lighter sans serif for the body text. For event announcements, choose fonts that convey excitement and grab attention. Now, let’s move on to best practices for typography and font pairing. Best Practices for Typography and Font Pairing

Although logo, colours, and fonts are the core of any design style guide, you can in fact put whatever you want in your style guide. Each church will have different elements they want to preserve. Below are some questions to consider for other commons sections: Harris, Brian L. (2006). Harris's Guide to Churches and Cathedrals: Discovering the Unique and Unusual in Over 500 Churches and Cathedrals. Ebury. p.205. ISBN 978-0-09-191251-2 . Retrieved 31 May 2020. Baptisms of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are usually undertaken in a simple font located in a local meetinghouse, although they can be performed in any body of water in which the person may be completely immersed. In Latter-day Saint temples, where proxy baptisms for the dead are performed, the fonts rest on the sculptures of twelve oxen representing the twelve tribes of Israel, following the pattern of the Molten Sea in the Temple of Solomon (see 2 Chronicles 4:2-5). Full-immersion baptisms may take place in a man-made tank or pool, or a natural body of water such as a river or lake. The entire body is fully immersed, dunked, submerged or otherwise placed completely under the water. This practice symbolizes the death of the old nature, as found in Romans 6:3–4. In Hagia Sophia, the water was supplied to the baptismal tank from a water tower. [13]
