To Be a Christian: An Anglican Catechism
Part II + Believing in Christ
The Apostles Creed and the Holy Trinity
“The [Apostles] Creed exists, as all Creeds and Confessions do, to define and defend this commitment that is basic to being a Christian. Its central article—which declares who and what Jesus Christ was, is and will be—is the fullest and longest; the article on God the Creator (the Father) introduces it, and the article on the Holy Spirit and the Christian salvation follows from it. 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 Accuracy: Jay misquotes Christ on the Cross saying that he was making reference to Psalm 21 (Domine, in virtute tua). In reality, Christ quoted Psalm 22 (Deus, Deus meus) when he cries out to the Father, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me” (Psalm 22:1).
