WILLIAM MARTIN MORRIS
Born : October 8, 1943
Deceased :
Bishop of Toowoomba, 1992-2011
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
As common in Australian episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The upper part of the shield is white with an open book having a red cover. The book represents the Scriptures and emphasises the Bishop's role of spreading the Good News to his people. The division line alludes to the Lamington National Park, one of the Bishop's favourite holiday places.
The anchor and letters are an allusion to the motto, "Christ is my Hope", the anchor being a symbol of hope and the letters Alpha and Omega representing Christ.
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
