I'm actually planning a sermon series on the creeds after Easter and this is exactly the kind of framing I've been wanting to develop for it. May I include it as a bulletin insert, with credit of course?

That’s great. Feel free to use it as you see best.

Wow!!!! Resonated deeply and brought me to tears, I would like to use this in my church if that’s ok? With credit to you of course. It fits beautifully alongside all I have been teaching my folk. 💜

This is a beautifully crafted statement. Thank you for sharing it with us. In redefining these terms you have moved the inadequate ideas of the past to a new level. Hope you don’t mind being quoted!

Love it! I can say it without crossing my fingers more than a time or two.

Michael Rose's avatar

Well, if it’s less than four finger crossings, it’s still constitutes telling the truth.

Appreciate you, Tim! (no fingers crossed)

I can and do recite the creeds as "signposts in a living tradition." And I can join you in this beautiful creed-in-progress of becoming and wholeness.
