To Be a Christian: An Anglican Catechism

Part II + Believing in Christ

The Apostles Creed and the Church

“The [Apostles] Creed exists, as all Creeds and Confessions do, to define and defend this commitment that is basic to being a Christian... As a whole, the Creed testifies to the vital core of God’s self-revelation. It is a consensus document, coming to us with the resounding endorsement of faithful believers over nearly two thousand years, for it has been recited by Christian communities at all times and in all places throughout the history of the Christian Church. And it is a benchmark of orthodoxy, that is, of right belief, guiding our understanding of God’s revealed truth at points where our sin-clouded minds might go astray.” - To Be a Christian, pg. 15-6

Note on the reference to the Amazon Synod of the Roman Catholic Church: The statue of “Pachamama” which was displayed in an idolatrous manner within the Vatican was never intended to represent the Blessed Virgin Mary as was incorrectly stated on the Podcast; rather it represented a South American fertility goddess which we believe should definitely not (ecumenical or otherwise) have been displayed within a sacred Church.
