Origin/meaning

As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.

The double red border is a canting reference to the surname Borders. The double border with eight fleurs-de-lis is known as a double tressure flory counterflory, and as such it is one of the two charges on the coat of arms of Scotland, the land of the Archbishop's ancestors . However, one fleur-de-lis has been omitted that the number of fleurs-de-lis might symbolize the Seven Sacraments which the Archbishop dispenses with the fullness of the Priesthood.

Within the tressure an American eagle refers to the presence of the forebears of Archbishop Borders in the United States since colonial times. The eagle bears an olive branch for peace which the Archbishops, as successors to the Apostles, are commissioned by Christ to bring to the world. In this sense, the olive branch reflects, the "That I May Serve," in his motto.

The motto is translated, "I will listen that I may serve."
