In our Anglican worship we say the Nicene Creed. With the words “We believe” we are saying that we come together with some specific beliefs. We do not come in spiritual ambiguity but with specific beliefs that govern all who we are and what we do. These specific beliefs come from a long history within the church. As we say the Creed, we are declaring what has always been believed by orthodox Christians. We are not re-creating church.
The words, “We believe” also declare that faith is not an isolated thing, a merely personal thing. We are declaring that as a community we believe together. We are saying that we have a faith that is common to us as a church, and with Christians around the world. Faith is not something that is really a “personal thing”, though we do personally believe, but faith is believed in a community, it comes from a community, and it is continually passed down within a community.
Thus at Great Shepherd we come to worship the Triune God historically and communally. Why not join us.
