It's the "burning bush" of the Exodus, and is a Presbyterian emblem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_bush#Symbolic_uses_of_the_burning_bush
So it means take off your shoes when you walk in the door?
Thanks Daveosaurus. I'll follow the link and learn some more about that. Curious emblem (to an agnostic)to have emblazoned above a church door.
Its latin for 'push'
it translates as "however it was not consumed" (high school latin useful on occasion)
