One of the subjects of the members of The Augustan Society, Inc., is heraldry, and ecclesiastical heraldry is an important and unique facet thereof. Thus it is appropriate for the Society to include an '''Ecclesiastical Heraldry Study Group'''. It is led by a [[Coordinators|Coordinator]] who is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the [[Dean of Studies]].
The charter focus of this group has not yet been defined beyond Study Group is to examine, document, and understand the titlehistory and aesthetic attributes of ecclesiastical heraldic arms. This includes arms from Christian churches, which but also Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, and other religions with a heraldic tradition. Chivalric insignia granted by ecclesiastical institutions are also studied. This group is why there is no page for this Study Group on presently dormant, but may be revived by any interested Member by petition to the main website[[Dean of Studies]].
