Is there any difference between the plus sign she wears and the plus sign with the guy hanging on? Do they both mean the same thing?

As an aside I sometimes work alongside the International Red Cross and Red Crescent - fantastic people on the whole. Our group is mind-blowingly diverse. The only thing we seem to have in common is that none of us are (particularly) religious. We refer to the ICRC as “Cee plus” from the crescent and cross motifs.

Paraphrasing the way it was explained to me as a child in a mainline Protestant denomination:

With action figure = "crucifix" = Catholic = reminder Jesus died for our sins.

Bare cross = Protestant and post-Protestant churches = reminder Jesus rose again.

I'm not sure about Anglicans.

Thank you for your service! More valuable than military work IMHO.

That’s an excellent answer which I’m gonna take as factually correct until someone can prove otherwise.

I’m strangely very proud of my work alongside C+ and thank you for appreciating it. Just a word of warning though: I was a childless single man in my early thirties when I started. If you have a life that involves other people think long and hard before joining - not everyone makes it back; and those that do are often never the same again.

No difference. They both mean heretic who never actually read what Jesus preached.

Yes, only you know the "Real" Christianity, and everyone else who makes your religion look bad are "heretics."

Sure thing.
