Believe?

Last week our Adult Sunday School class finished reading and discussing Genesis, the first nine chapters, Creation stories, Adam and Eve in the Garden, Cain and Abel, and The Great Flood. As the class wishes, we may come back to Genesis before we’re done, but for this morning the class decided to look at the Creeds.

It will be something of a theological discussion, because in the Creeds we stand up and say what we believe about God. Which is what theology is, theo logos, our word about God. Starting this morning and over the next couple of weeks we will discuss our three Creeds, Apostles Creed, Nicene Creed and Athanasian Creed -- leading into that this morning by asking “how do we know what we believe?” We will ask about the primacy of Scripture in our theology, lex orandi lex credendi, the so-called “Anglican three-legged stool” of Scripture, reason and tradition attributed to Richard Hooker (16th century), perhaps a look at the Catechism and the Articles of Religion, especially Article VI, “Of the Sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures for Salvation.”

It will be an opportunity to wonder and talk. There's no signing up, everyone is invited and all are most welcome!
