Thanks Joash for sharing your insights here. I’m currently reading “What Christians Believe: Understanding the Nicene Creed” by Bishop Robert Barron. Bishop Barron really highlights how beautiful in language and rich in meaning this creed is.
Personally, I developed a love for creeds growing up in the United Church of Canada and their New Creed which I recited every week up through my teen years. “We are not alone. We live in God’s world…”
I still know it by heart and find myself saying it to myself as a prayer or simple a reassuring word in times of stress or doubt.
Later, through that initial creed, I learned about and learned to love the Apostle’s and Nicene creeds.
I love being a part of a global church, an ancient faith. So much to learn from our sisters and brothers from around the world and throughout the ages!
I love how you write about how the creed unites us instead of divides us. Seems like that is something we could use a lot more of these days. Excited for the book to come out! I pre-ordered and am eagerly awaiting its arrival!
