Wartime Origins of the Flaming Chalice, Dan Hotchkiss' 2005 article in UU World, the Unitarian Universalist Association's own magazine, recounts artist Hans Deutsch's 1941 design of the flaming chalice symbol for the Unitarian Service Committee under Charles Joy. Its strength is that it is published by the denomination's own magazine with direct access to its historical record. Its limit is that it is a denominational magazine account rather than an independently peer reviewed history, so a contested detail of the symbol's design history should be checked against Deutsch's or Joy's own papers where available.
